Notes
Tips for Making the Perfect Bojangles' Biscuits
Use cold buttermilk and hot water to create a flaky texture.
Don't overwork the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.
Roll out the dough to a uniform thickness so that the biscuits cook evenly.
Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Variations
For a richer flavor, use butter instead of shortening.
Add 1/4 cup of grated cheese to the dough for a cheesy twist.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for a glossy finish.
