FAQs
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
A: You can, but add baking powder and a pinch of salt to replace self-rising flour. Use about 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder per cup of regular flour.
Q: Can I skip the egg wash?
A: Yes. The egg wash gives shine and helps the sugar stick, but you can skip it if you need an egg-free option.
Q: How do I know when they are done baking?
A: They should be golden brown on top and sound slightly hollow when you tap the bottom.
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: You can make the dough and keep it covered in the fridge for a few hours. Let it warm a bit before shaping and baking.
