Pour in the milk and stir gently with a spoon until the dough just begins to come together. Do not overmix—this will help keep the biscuits light and tender.
5. Shape the Dough (Time: 3-4 minutes)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough just a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out the biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
6. Bake the Biscuits (Time: 10-12 minutes)
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown.
7. Serve and Enjoy (Time: 5 minutes)
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
Tips for the Perfect KFC Biscuits:
Use Chilled Butter: Chilled butter helps create a flakier biscuit. Make sure the butter is cold when you cut it into the flour.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Gently mix the dough—overmixing will lead to dense biscuits.
Use a Biscuit Cutter: If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, use a round glass to cut the dough. Just make sure to press down firmly and don’t twist, as this can seal the edges and prevent them from rising properly.
Serve Warm: Biscuits are best served fresh and warm. You can warm them up in the oven if they cool down too much.
FAQ:
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with buttermilk for extra richness or a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough before baking. Simply cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and store for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I make these without cream of tartar?
Yes, you can omit the cream of tartar. It helps activate the baking soda, but the biscuits will still turn out fine without it. If you want a similar effect, you can substitute it with a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
