KFC Biscuit Recipe
While biscuits are more common for breakfast, they are also popular with other meals and their are many copycat restaurant recipes. For example, KFC biscuit recipe or better way to put it, their famous KFC buttermilk biscuits, the Red Lobster restaurant is famous for it’s Cheese Biscuits, which are served with a seafood dinner. So biscuits are not just for breakfast. But, they are not that easy to make at home, unless you know a few tips.
Ahhhh, light, fluffy…
hot biscuits from the oven; one of the real joys of life. But that joy fades when your biscuits can be used to drive nails.
Do you’re biscuits come out flat as a board? And heavy as lead? Well, you are probably making a few common mistakes that are simple to correct.
You should start with a good recipe.
Then you need to follow these few simple tips:
1. Do not overwork the dough. Biscuits do not need to be kneaded. This will make heavy, tough biscuits. After you roll the dough out on your board, simply fold the dough over on itself about three times. Then Stop! Next, gently form a round shape and roll it out to about a 1 1/2 to 2 inch thickness with your rolling pin.
2. When you cut out the biscuits from the dough, push the biscuit cutter straight down, then straight up. Do not push down and twist. This compacts the edges of the dough and causes uneven cooking and tough biscuits.
3. Always pre-heat your oven completely (generally 400-425 degrees). Different ovens vary in the time required to get up to temperature. I recommend you always allow at least 15 minutes after turning the oven on before putting the biscuits in. A cold (or not fully pre-heated) oven is the leading cause for failure of the dough to rise (flat biscuits).
4. And finally…this should be a no-brainer, but my neighbor was guilty of the following: She said she liked thick biscuits with lots of soft insides, but her biscuits were always thin and flat. So I watched her make a batch of biscuits, expecting to find that she was not pre-heating the oven. However, this was not the problem. She was doing everything right, except one obvious error. When she rolled out the dough, she rolled it about 1/2 inch thick and began cutting out the biscuits. After she cut half the dough, I suggested she roll the remaining dough to 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and cut the last biscuits from that.
A few minutes later, she pulled the biscuits from the oven, half flat and the others big and fluffy.
The lesson? If you want bigger biscuits, you have to start with thicker dough. (duh!)
Don’t have a biscuit cutter? Check your water glasses. You probably have one that is just the size for the diameter of biscuits you want. Flour the lip of the glass to prevent sticking and it works fine.
Another tip: I recommend you use buttermilk instead of regular milk for your biscuits. It provides better flavor and seems to make lighter biscuits. If you do not keep buttermilk on hand (I don’t), you can make a substitute by adding a tablespoon of white vinegar in a cup of regular milk. Stir and allow to sit for a minute before use.
So, the next time you make biscuits, use these tips and stand by for the compliments.
