Copycat Chick-fil-a Biscuits
If you love Chick-fil-a biscuits then you’re in for a real treat! These Copycat Chick-fil-a Biscuits are soft and buttery, puffing up beautifully in the oven and providing those much sought-after flaky layers!
Use your freshly baked copycat biscuits to make scrumptious breakfast biscuits with your choice of filling – bacon, hash browns, sausage patties, sliced cheese, and sauce. They’re also just as good eaten plain with a generous spread of salted butter!
Recipe Notes:
- Use gluten-free self-raising flour mix If you’d like to make gluten-free biscuits.
- Cold butter in your biscuit mixture will produce the best soft and fluffy biscuits. Simply cut the butter into cubes and place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes prior to use.
- It’s important to fold the dough according to the recipe directions, as this process creates flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Be sure not to twist the biscuit cutter, as this can seal the edges of the biscuits and prevent them from rising.
CAN I FREEZE CHICK-FIL-A BISCUITS?
Yes, you can freeze these biscuits. Make sure that you allow the biscuits to cool completely before you freeze them – this ensures that excess moisture isn’t trapped inside of them once frozen; otherwise, they can become dense when thawed at a later stage.
Once cooled, wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic or foil and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. These biscuits will freeze well for 2-3 months.

To reheat from frozen, transfer your frozen biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in your oven at 350℉ for 15-20 minutes. To prevent the biscuits from over-browning, lay a sheet of foil over the frozen biscuits. When the biscuits are soft and warm throughout the center, they are ready to be enjoyed. You can also reheat your biscuits in the microwave if you prefer.
Copycat Chick-fil-a Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Add 3 tablespoons of melted butter to a large cast iron skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the butter until the pieces are pea-size or smaller.
- Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and add the buttermilk. Stir until the ingredients are just combined. The batter will be a little crumbly.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, bring the dough together and gently fold it over 3 or 4 times.
- Pat the dough out to about 1 inch thickness.
- Use a floured biscuit cutter to press straight down into the dough without twisting the cutter.
- Place the biscuits into the prepared cast iron skillet, spacing them close together. Reshape the remaining dough and continue to cut additional biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with your last TB of buttermilk.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top.
- Brush the tops with the remaining 2 TB melted butter immediately. Serve warm.
