My kitchen is filled with the most wonderful aroma every time I make a batch of homemade biscuits. In addition to these copycat Hardee’s biscuits, we also love Cream Cheese Biscuits and Savory Gluten-Free Cheddar Biscuits.
These biscuits are perfect when served with butter, honey, fruit jam, or apple butter. Additionally, they make a delicious breakfast when paired with ham, egg, and cheese, just like Hardee’s makes them!
The initial step in crafting copycat Hardee’s biscuits entails utilizing a pastry cutter to combine flour and shortening. Continuing cutting in the shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse grain texture.
Next, incorporate baking powder and sugar to the flour mixture. Now add buttermilk and stir until the mixture comes together in a dough stage.
Okay, it’s time to get your biscuits ready to cut. Sprinkle a light layer of flour onto a clean, dry working surface and place dough on top. Gently knead the dough a few times until it resembles a soft baby’s bottom.
Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough ball with flour. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. (If your rolling pin sticks a little simply add an additional sprinkle of flour to the surface.)
I like to use a 2-3/4 inch pastry cutter when cutting out my copycat Hardee’s biscuits. However, you can use a smaller size cutter. NOTE: Using smaller sized biscuit cutters will yield more biscuits and the baking time may vary.
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place the biscuits on the cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake the Hardee’s biscuits for 16 to 20 minutes. While the biscuits are still warm, use a pastry brush to brush the top of each biscuit with butter.
As previously mentioned, these Hardee’s biscuits are delicious served warm with butter.
