Super Fluffy Southern Biscuits (Bojangles-Style)

These super fluffy Southern biscuits are inspired by classic Bojangles-style biscuits — tall, tender, buttery, and baked hot so they rise high instead of spreading flat. Frozen butter creates steam pockets for layers, and a gentle hand keeps them soft instead of tough. This is a reliable, repeatable biscuit recipe for breakfast sandwiches, gravy, or eating straight off the pan with butter.
Ingredients
🧺 INGREDIENTS
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
12 tablespoons butter (1½ sticks), frozen
1½ cups milk, plus 1–3 tablespoons as needed
Instructions
🥣 INSTRUCTIONS / DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment if desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut frozen butter into chunks and pulse in a food processor until pea-sized shreds form. Add butter to the flour mixture and toss with a fork until evenly distributed.
Pour in 1½ cups milk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. If dry, add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring together. Do not knead.
Pat or roll dough to at least ¾-inch thick. Cut biscuits about 2 inches wide, pressing straight down without twisting.
Place biscuits on the baking sheet, either touching for softer sides or spaced for crisper edges.
Bake 8–10 minutes until tall and golden on top.
🍽️ HOW TO SERVE
Serve with butter and honey, sausage gravy, breakfast sandwiches, chicken biscuits, or jam.

📝 RECIPE NOTES
Frozen butter creates steam pockets that help the biscuits rise tall and fluffy.
Avoid overmixing once the milk is added or the biscuits can become tough.
If baking powder is older than about 6 months, replace it — biscuit rise depends on it.
