How to Make Kfc Biscuits Copycat

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. Cut in the cold, cubed shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the cold buttermilk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly flour a clean work surface.
  6. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and gently knead 10-12 times, or until the dough is no longer sticky. Add more flour as needed.
  7. Divide the dough in half.
  8. Gently pat or roll each half into an 8-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
  9. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down, twisting the cutter slightly to prevent sticking.
  10. Gather the scraps, gently pat them together (avoid over-kneading), and cut out more biscuits.
  11. Place the biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  12. Brush the tops of the biscuits with whole milk.
  13. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Immediately brush the warm biscuits with melted margarine.
  15. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade KFC-style biscuits!
