How to make Popeyes biscuits

1 answer

To make Popeyes biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.

3. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in tough biscuits.

5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

6. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

8. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for that extra Popeyes flavor.

9. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Popeyes-style biscuits!

Note: You can also add additional flavors like garlic powder or grated cheese to the dry mixture before adding the buttermilk for variations.
