KFC-Style Biscuits (Keto-Friendly)
These KFC-style biscuits are a keto-friendly version of the classic southern biscuits, using almond flour and erythritol for a low-carb twist. They’re buttery, flaky, and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 4 teaspoons Butter Flavored Crisco
- 1 glass of buttermilk (about 1 cup)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, erythritol, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 3: Cut in Fats
- Add Shortening and Crisco: Cut in the vegetable shortening and Butter Flavored Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a pastry cutter or fork for this step.
Step 4: Add Buttermilk
- Mix in Buttermilk: Gradually mix in the buttermilk until a soft dough forms. The dough will be very loose and sticky at this point.
Step 5: Knead the Dough
- Prepare Board: Sprinkle almond flour onto a large wooden board.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto the floured board and knead gently 10 to 12 times or until it is no longer sticky, re-flouring the board as needed while kneading.
Step 6: Shape and Cut Biscuits
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough in half.
- Shape Dough: Pat or roll each half into an 8-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut Biscuits: Cut the biscuits with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, pressing them straight down. Reform scraps as needed to cut additional biscuits.
Step 7: Prepare for Baking
- Place Biscuits: Place the cut biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet with edges barely touching.
- Brush Tops: Brush the tops of the biscuits with whole milk.
Step 8: Bake Biscuits
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 9: Finish Biscuits
- Brush with Butter: Immediately after baking, brush the biscuits with melted margarine or butter.
Step 10: Serve
- Serve Hot: Serve the biscuits hot and enjoy your homemade KFC-style biscuits!
Tips
- Flour Substitutes: Use coconut flour or a blend of almond and coconut flour if desired, adjusting liquid quantities as needed.
- Extra Flavors: Add shredded cheese or herbs to the dough for added flavor.
- Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Conclusion
These KFC-style biscuits are a delicious, low-carb alternative to traditional biscuits. Perfectly flaky and buttery, they are great for any meal or as a snack. Enjoy making and eating these delightful keto-friendly biscuits!
