Popeyes Biscuit with Peanut Butter a Fluffy, buttery biscuits made in the classic Popeyes-style, then topped with creamy peanut butter for a savory and sweet twist. I love how these golden biscuits come out perfectly soft inside with a slight crisp on the edges, making them ideal for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk (plus extra for brushing)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until just combined without overmixing.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently a few times, and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Cut out biscuits using a round cutter, re-rolling the dough as necessary.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of peanut butter on top before serving.

Variations
I sometimes switch the creamy peanut butter for crunchy to add a little extra texture. If I want a sweeter version, I drizzle honey or maple syrup on top along with the peanut butter. For a more savory bite, I like to add a sprinkle of sea salt or even a touch of chili flakes for a spicy twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, I pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes until soft again. If I want them extra indulgent, I spread a little more peanut butter on after reheating.
FAQs
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, I can freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months. I wrap them tightly and thaw before reheating.
Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, I can. If I use self-rising flour, I simply skip the baking powder and salt.
What’s the best way to get fluffy biscuits?
I make sure my butter is very cold and avoid overmixing the dough, which helps the biscuits rise beautifully and stay tender.
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, I can prepare the dough and cut out the biscuits, then keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
Can I try a different topping instead of peanut butter?
Of course. I sometimes use jam, Nutella, or even savory spreads like cream cheese or garlic butter.
Conclusion
I love how these Popeyes-style biscuits with peanut butter strike the perfect balance between savory and sweet. They’re easy to make, filling, and versatile enough for breakfast, snacks, or even a quick dessert. Every bite reminds me of the comfort of homemade baking with a fun twist.
