Yes, assemble the rolls, thread them onto skewers, and store covered in the fridge. Cook them fresh over the fire when ready.
Store‑bought biscuit dough or refrigerated crescent roll dough work well and give a slightly flakier texture.
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a toaster oven or on a grill pan.
Over‑cooking or using a too‑high heat can caramelize the sugar too quickly, drying the interior. Keep the fire at medium and turn frequently.
