Instructions for KFC Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Add Buttermilk
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork or spoon.
- Mix just until the dough comes together—do not overmix, as this will affect the flakiness.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch.
- Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed to make more biscuits.
Step 4: Bake
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet so they are touching slightly—this helps them rise evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or as a side dish to your favorite meal.
These biscuits are sure to be a hit with their flaky layers and rich, buttery flavor!
