Kentucky Biscuits are a classic of Southern United States cuisine, especially popular in the state of Kentucky. Their name comes from the English term "biscuits," which describes these types of fluffy and tender rolls. Although they are known as biscuits in the United States, in several Latin American countries their closest equivalent would be soft dough biscuits or rolls, although they are not very common by this name. In countries like Mexico, they are sometimes related to "bizcotelas" or even certain versions of traditionally made rolls.
The origin of biscuits dates back to English colonial cuisine, where rolls were prepared with lard and baked to accompany meals or for breakfasts. Over time, they were adapted in the southern United States until they became an essential accompaniment to dishes like fried chicken or breakfasts with eggs and sausage gravy. They are very popular for their light texture and mild flavor, being very easy to prepare.
