Step 5: Coat

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Yes! Homemade biscuit dough works wonderfully and provides an even flakier texture.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the bites and refrigerate them (unbaked) for up to 24 hours before baking.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Yes, though full-fat cream cheese creates the richest and creamiest filling.

Why did my filling leak out?

The dough likely wasn’t sealed completely or was overfilled. Pinch the edges firmly before baking.

Can I cook these in the air fryer?

Yes. Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 8–10 minutes, checking for a golden-brown finish.

Can I add fruit?

Absolutely! Add a few finely chopped strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to the cream cheese filling.

Can I skip the glaze?

Yes. The cinnamon sugar coating is delicious on its own.

What should I serve with these?

They pair perfectly with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh fruit, or vanilla ice cream for dessert.
