Can I make these with homemade biscuit dough instead of prepared dough?
Yes, homemade biscuit dough works well. Use about 1.5 lbs of dough rolled to ½-inch thickness, and follow the same baking instructions.
How do I reduce the heat if these biscuits are too spicy?
Use fewer jalapeños, remove more seeds and membranes from the peppers, or swap half the jalapeños for mild poblano peppers.
Can I prepare these ahead and bake later?
Yes, assemble the biscuits on the pan, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate up to 4 hours, then bake when ready. Add 2-3 minutes to bake time.
What's the best way to reheat leftover biscuits?
Warm in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving, which makes them tough.
Can I use cream cheese filling instead of prepared popper filling?
Yes, cream cheese mixed with shredded cheddar and a pinch of cayenne is a good substitute.
