Popeyes Biscuits Recipe
Description
The Popeyes Biscuits Recipe involves mixing dry ingredients with cold diced butter cut in until crumbly, followed by incorporation of cold buttermilk to form a sticky dough. Rolling out the dough to about half an inch thickness and cutting it with a biscuit cutter without twisting ensures tender edges. Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 to 24 minutes yields biscuits that are lightly golden with a soft crumb inside.
The texture balances a tender interior with a subtly crisp crust, while the sugar adds slight sweetness without overpowering the biscuit flavor. These biscuits can complement various dishes or be enjoyed on their own.
Leftover biscuits should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, diced, cold
- 3/4 cup buttermilk cold
- 1 Tbsp butter for tops of biscuits, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Then slice the cold butter into small pieces and cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter, knife or pastry blender.
- Then stir in the cold Buttermilk into the bowl until a dough is formed. The dough will be sticky.
- On a floured working surface, roll the dough out until it's approximately 1/2” thick. Then sprinkle the top of the dough with flour so that the cutter doesn’t stick to the dough.
- Use a 2.5 inch or 3 inch biscuit cutter or the top of a round glass to cut the biscuits out of the dough. Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting out the biscuits. Just gently shake the cutter or glass so that the biscuit falls out.
- Then place the cut out biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes until the top of the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
- After the cooking, let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes, then top them with the melted butter and serve!
Notes
- Keep butter cold and work quickly to ensure tender, flaky biscuits.
- Do not twist the biscuit cutter; gently lift biscuits to keep edges light and flaky.
- Store leftover biscuits airtight at room temperature for up to one week to preserve texture.
