KFC Biscuits

Did you know that KFC posted their recipe to their biscuits right on their website?!?  I was so excited to find this yesterday that I tried to make them.  KFC's biscuits are my favorite, and there have been many times that I've considered buying them just to make biscuits and gravy with.  SO...I tried them.  They definitely don't look like KFC's!  haha.  I think I just need more practice.  I also think I patted the dough a little thin so I could get more biscuits out of it.  So definitely double the recipe so you don't have to worry about this.  Even with my biscuits being flat, they still tasted amazing!  I can't wait to try these again, I'll post another picture when they turn out right.  Here's the recipe:


INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Sift together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into mixing bowl. Make a well in the flour mix and add the milk. Add shortening and begin kneading with hands (to cut in) the vegetable shortening and flour in the milk until thoroughly mixed. Add milk, if needed to form, and mix. Turn onto floured board, and knead gently 6 to 8 times. Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits. Place on baking sheet and brown in oven 10-13 minutes. Makes about 9 biscuits.
