Description

Master the legendary Bojangles Biscuits recipe! This easy copycat version uses cold buttermilk and shortening to create those iconic, buttery, flaky Southern layers.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, salted
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together your 2 cups self-rising flour and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, "cut" the chilled 1/3 cup vegetable shortening into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour. Pour in the cold 3/4 cup buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to gently fold the flour into the liquid. Do not overmix! The dough should be slightly sticky and "shaggy."
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently pat it out and fold it over itself 3-4 times—this creates the iconic Bojangles layers. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut using a floured biscuit cutter. Pro Tip: Push straight down; do not twist the cutter, or the edges will seal and the biscuits won't rise!
  • Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet so their edges are just touching. Bake at 450°F for 12-15 minutes. As soon as they come out, brush the tops generously with melted 3 tablespoons butter.
