Common Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough?
Absolutely! Use your favorite biscuit recipe – just roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness before filling.
What’s the best roast beef to use?
Deli-sliced roast beef works perfectly. Ask for “shaved” cut at the deli counter for extra tenderness.
Can I prepare these ahead?
Yes! Assemble unbaked biscuits and refrigerate overnight or freeze for up to 2 months. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if cooking from cold.
How do I keep the filling from leaking?
Make sure to:
- Completely seal the edges
- Don’t overfill them
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet
