KFC Biscuits

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.
