Hardee’s Biscuit Recipe

Hardee’s Biscuit Ingredients

This is what you need to make 12 biscuits:

• ¼ cup sugar
• 5 cups self-rising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• a pinch of black pepper
• 1 cup shortening (I use vegetable oil)
• 2 1/2 cups buttermilk, chilled
• Salted butter, for brushing or brush tops

Hardee’s Biscuit Directions

STEP 1:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Start warming butter on the oven.

STEP 2:

In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients – sugar, self-rising flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper into the sifter.

STEP 3:

Add the shortening to the flour mixture.

STEP 4:

Using your hand, make a well-like shape in the center of the mixture and pour the cold buttermilk into the well. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula and start combining the wet and dry ingredients.

STEP 5:

Place the dough out onto a floured countertop or flat surface. Roll the dough out with the rolling pin until you have a one-inch thick circle. Use a floured 2-inch cutter to punch out as many biscuits as possible, like a golf ball… lots of golf balls.

STEP 6:

Transfer the biscuits to the baking sheet or oil iron skillet and position them side by side. Then brush the top of the biscuits with the melted butter that’s been warming on the oven.

STEP 7:

Baking time for these dough balls is about 10 to 15 minutes on the top of the oven. You’ll know they’re ready when they turn to a light golden brown color. When they’re done, remove them from the oven and cool for a while.

STEP 8:

Enjoy!

Some people like to eat these with plump raisins, cheddar cheese, tomato slices, or a tangy pimento filling. The sweet biscuits also make the perfect pair with some some sausage gravy recipes you may have too!

When you make these delicious biscuits a second time, you might want to use additional buttermilk or additional baking powder to suit your personal preference. There is nothing better than the real deal from the restaurant chain, but if you aren’t close to a location in Virginia Beach or North Carolina, then this is the fastest way to a better biscuit.
