Recipe by John Currence Really good fried chicken and really good biscuits—together, they're like Wonder Twin powers," says chef John Currence, owner of Big Bad Breakfast in Oxford, MS. For a no-fry, old-school treat, split biscuits and smother with Saus

Ingredients

Servings 10

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/4 cup vegetable shortening or lard
4 cups all-purpose flour plus more
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F. Place butter and shortening in freezer for 10 minutes.
Blend 4 cups flour and next 5 ingredients in a food processor. Add butter and shortening. Pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal, 20-25 pulses. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add buttermilk while tossing mixture with a fork (mixture will not be completely incorporated). Knead in bowl with lightly floured hands just until dough forms, about 3 turns.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat out dough until 1" thick. Lift 1 side and fold it over. Gently repeat 5 more times. Roll dough to 3/4"-thick round. Using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut biscuits from dough. Gather scraps and repeat patting out and cutting biscuits for a total of 10 biscuits.
Place biscuits on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet, spaced 1"-2" apart. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted horizontally comes out clean, 12-15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack; let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.
