Great American Taste Test – KFC biscuits

Have you ever seen those copy-cat recipes where you can make your favorite restaurant treats at home? The Red Lobster cheddar biscuits is a common copy-cat recipe out there. I was contacted to participate in the Great American Taste Test by testing out a recipe from America’s Most Wanted Recipes by Ron Douglas (you can also check out his website). They offered to send me a free copy of the cookbook if I agreed to blog about a recipe comparison. I looked through the table of contents and decided to make the KFC Biscuits. I love KFC biscuits and I’ve never made biscuits at home.

While I was baking the biscuits, I sent Hubby off to KFC to grab a pair of their biscuits so we could compare the copy-cat recipe side-by-side with the real thing. We made these biscuits into breakfast sandwiches. Even though this isn’t a typical way to eat a KFC biscuit, we love to eat a big late breakfast on the weekends.

Size – My biscuits were a bit on the small side. I had to use a medium sized biscuit cutter to get the 9 biscuits the recipe says it makes. I would much rather have fewer thicker and bigger biscuits than more small ones. As you can also see from the picture, my biscuits didn’t rise as much as the KFC ones did.

Taste – The biscuits I made are definitely flaky and soft. They were great and we both really enjoyed them. The taste is spot on when compared to the KFC biscuits. The texture was a bit different mostly because the KFC biscuit was more hard on the outside, but had the same flaky inside. I think I liked the texture of the biscuits I made better than the KFC biscuit. I’ll definitely use this recipe again if I need to make biscuits.

    These are fantastic! Great action in the first shot and equally great serenity in the other two. You must have a really steady hand if you didn’t prop the camera for that first shot, the lines are perfect!

    When purchasing car insurance, two big words always stand out.

    Before you venture out to dealerships or used car lots,
    do some research. Being categorized as high-risk under these classifications can result in higher rates for insured motorists to which they
    should not be subjected.

    Read the policy information properly as there may
    be slight differences from one insurer to the next. Negative marks on your DMV record are made public
    to any insurance company and if they see this type of bad behavior on your driving record, it will mean costly
    premiums. You will have a harder time obtaining
    a work release if you wait a day or so after the accident.

    cost of private health insurance uk — August 2, 2013 at 5:32 am

    Even if you have what you think is excellent health care insurance, you cannot
    be sure that if you have a devastating illness that your
    insurer will pay for your health care expenses as over 60% of those
    who had to file bankruptcy found out. This will also occur if you bought standard ancillary for
    dental or optician sessions, only to realize later on you’ve got more needs that demand more payment. This is halved if the offender was under eighteen at the time of conviction.

    I seldom leave a response, but I read a lot of responses on Nighttime Friday | Beantown Baker.
    I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it simply me or does it appear like some of the responses look like they are written by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing at other sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you post a list of all of your social community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    health & dental insurance quotes — August 30, 2013 at 3:59 am

    Fast forward to 1966 and over 60 companies offered this type of insurance.
    But we are using the much less common colonoscopy
    example. Fulfilling this fundamental need makes people feel secured,
    and it makes sense that people with better health can contribute more to the society.
