Hello there, baking enthusiasts! Today, we’re going to recreate an iconic delight that has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many Americans – the legendary KFC Biscuits. These warm, flaky, and buttery biscuits are a staple at Kentucky Fried Chicken and are as beloved as their fried chicken itself.

KFC Biscuits bring that Southern comfort food charm straight to your plate, promising a melt-in-your-mouth experience in every bite. These biscuits are not just sides, they’re stars in their own right, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a side to your favorite Southern meal.

Ready to bake some magic? Let’s roll up our sleeves, gather our ingredients, and start baking these delightful biscuits right in your home kitchen.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3. 1 tablespoon sugar
4. 4 teaspoons baking powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
6. 1/2 cup butter, cold and cut into cubes
7. 2/3 cup buttermilk
8. 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Have everything ready? Fantastic! Let’s move on to the instructions.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cream of tartar.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix – the dough should be sticky and a bit lumpy.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
6. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits.
7. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re touching each other – this helps them rise higher.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter.

Voila, your homemade KFC Biscuits are ready! These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, offering that buttery, flaky goodness reminiscent of cozy Southern comfort food. Pair them with your favorite gravy, slather them with honey, or enjoy them just as they are – every bite promises a taste of the beloved American classic. Happy baking!
