Recipe For Perfect Hardee's Biscuits
- Kneading: Don't Knead, stir together with a spoon. Over kneading biscuit dough will break down the Shortening into smaller pieces, shrinking the air pockets they will create during baking. As a result, you will get a dense biscuit.
- Crisco Shortening: Shortening is used in baking to give pastries a tender texture. Also, Shortening is better than butter in baking, as it has a higher melt point and is more heat-stable. Many people use shortening because it's cheaper, higher in fat, and more stable than butter, it is used in most industrialized settings.
- Baking: For better results and avoid over baking, check the Biscuits 5 or 6 minutes before the recommended time. Once the Biscuits become golden and light brown turn off the heat and let leave them there until serving.
- Measure the Ingredients accurately: Make sure to Measure the Ingredients accurately, any incorrect ingredients especially flour, will make the biscuit dry and lose the tender texture.

As I recall . The dough was rolled out( don’t smash the dough) and each biscuit was cut making sure to flour the
cutter each time . This made the biscuits taller when baked. Also we didn’t butter them until after baking . Source: I used to make biscuits at Hardee’s in the 90’s.
