KFC Biscuit Recipe is super easy to make at home. This copycat recipe is buttery with soft and flaky layers. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cream of tartar.
"My reverse-engineered recipe for KFC's biscuits." photo by missy h. PREHEAT oven to 400°F; COMBINE 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a large mixing bowl; CUT in shortenings until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Place the biscuits on the lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until fully risen and golden brown. Serve immediately with a wide variety of accompaniments. These light and flaky KFC biscuits are the best biscuits you will ever make! It takes only a few minutes to make and can be served as a side with a wide variety of meals.
I like using self-rising flour for biscuits because commercial self-rising flour has a really nice consistency. I do add a couple of secret weapons in my version of the KFC Biscuits. In addition to the self-rising flour, I also use a little sugar for sweetness and cream of tartar to give these biscuits an additional lift.
