🥖 Homemade KFC-Style Biscuits

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

3. Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Buttermilk

Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix — this keeps the biscuits tender.

5. Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1/2–3/4 inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather scraps and repeat.

6. Bake

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet close but not touching. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

7. Optional Butter Brush

Brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.

💡 Tips for Fluffy Biscuits

• Keep ingredients cold: Cold butter and buttermilk make the biscuits flaky.

• Don’t overwork the dough: Overmixing makes biscuits dense.

• Layering: Fold the dough once before cutting for extra layers.

• Serve immediately: Biscuits are best warm, straight from the oven.
