Orange, rosemary and cinnamon biscuits FAQ:

What is the baking time for these biscuits?

Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

How can I tell when the biscuits are done?

The biscuits are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers have a slight firmness. They should not be doughy in the middle.

Can I substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of all-purpose flour.

What is the best way to store these biscuits?

Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Can I use fresh rosemary instead of dried rosemary?

Cooking Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh rosemary and freshly grated orange zest.

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start; it will cream more easily with the sugars.

- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to ensure the biscuits hold their shape and have a better texture.

- If you prefer a softer biscuit, reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.

- You can freeze any leftover dough. Just slice and bake when you're ready for fresh biscuits.
