Absolutely! KFC-style biscuits are soft, flaky, buttery, and slightly sweet—perfect for breakfast or as a side. Here’s a tried-and-true recipe:


Ingredients (makes about 8 biscuits)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk (plus a little extra if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    • 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the butter:
    • Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture.
    • Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add buttermilk:
    • Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until dough just comes together.
    • If too dry, add a little more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time.
  5. Knead lightly:
    • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold it over 2–3 times (do not over-knead—you want flaky layers).
  6. Shape biscuits:
    • Pat dough to about ¾-inch thickness.
    • Cut with a round biscuit cutter or glass. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet (for soft sides) or spaced apart (for crispier sides).
  7. Bake:
    • 12–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  8. Optional:
    • Brush tops with melted butter immediately after baking for extra flavor.

💡 Tips for perfect KFC-style biscuits:

  • Keep butter cold to get flaky layers.
  • Don’t overwork the dough; folding lightly creates the layered texture.
  • Serve warm with honey or gravy for that authentic Southern touch.
