If I've learned anything over the years, it's that KFC is my favorite fast food restaurant for side dishes. Sometimes I go buy some if I know I'm having guests or too lazy to cook. They have a variety of mouth-watering options that change almost constantly, which makes it very difficult to choose the best.
However, I've always been a sucker for hot and flaky biscuits and they were the best I've ever had. It's flaky, buttery, soft and crunchy at the same time. Not even Grandma can make a biscuit like this!
* Ingredients :
° 2 cups all-purpose flour
° 1 12 teaspoons salt
° 1 tablespoon sugar
° 4 teaspoons baking powder
° 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
° 3 tablespoons vegetable ghee
° 4 teaspoons Crisco Butter Flavor
° 1 cup of milk
* How to make Kentucky biscuits :
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit; Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a large mixing bowl; Cut in ghee until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 1 cup of the curd until a soft dough forms (the dough will be too loose and sticky at this point).
sprinkle flour on a large wooden board; Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead gently 10 to 12 times or until it is no longer sticky, re-greasing the board with flour as necessary while kneading.
Divide the dough in half; Gently pat or roll each half into an 8-inch by 1/2-inch-thick circle.
Cookie cutter - press straight down - with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
Fix the cuttings, working on them as little as possible and continuing to cut.
Place the biscuit pieces on an ungreased baking sheet with the edges barely touching; Brush the surface of the biscuit with whole milk.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Grease the biscuits with ghee (or butter) immediately after baking.
Enjoy !
