KFC Style Biscuits

👉Ingredients:

↪️2 cups all-purpose flour

↪️1 tablespoon baking powder

↪️2 teaspoons granulated sugar

↪️½ teaspoon cream of tartar

↪️½ teaspoon salt

↪️½ cup chilled salted butter

↪️2/3 cup milk

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Preheat your oven to 415°F (213°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

✅️2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt.

✅️3. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender, your hands, or a fork and knife until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

✅️4. Pour in the milk and stir with a fork just until the dough comes together.

✅️5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times until smooth—don’t overwork it.

✅️6. Roll the dough to about ½ inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or slice into squares. Gather and re-roll the scraps to use up all the dough.

✅️7. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet with a little space between them.

✅️8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown and risen.

✅️9. Serve warm for best results, or leave on the counter to cool slightly before serving.

👉Tips:

▶️Tip 1: Use very cold butter—you can even freeze it for 10 minutes before cutting it in. This helps the biscuits rise with flaky layers.

▶️Tip 2: Don’t overmix or knead the dough too much, or the biscuits may turn out tough instead of tender.

▶️Tip 3: For a golden top, brush the biscuits lightly with milk or melted butter before baking.

🔸️These buttery, fluffy biscuits are a delicious homemade version of the classic KFC favorite. Whether served with fried chicken, smothered in gravy, or simply enjoyed with jam and butter, they’re always a crowd-pleaser. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
