Instructions
Creating KFC Biscuits is fun and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to achieve that perfect biscuit texture:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving a fluffy rise.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
3. Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Combine with Milk: Slowly pour in the milk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the biscuits.
5. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it for about 30 seconds. Pat it out to about ¾ inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are close together, which helps them rise beautifully.
7. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops with melted butter for added flavors and a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Serve Warm: Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm.
