When I worked for Copelands I used to have to make them. I would put them down. I still know the recipe.
The big trick was shortening mixed in with the dry batter then hold it for 24 hours cold. Then when ready to use add the buttermilk. Then we had a high salt content butter we put on top the biscuits after they were scooped. Then more butter before they went into oven. Then melted butter when coming out the oven and one more time when plated.
I used to frick some up here and there just to eat them. They are amazing with fresh whipped cream and strawberries.
I know y'all said Popeyes but the Popeyes logo was on the biscuit mix. The only difference was we scooped with ice cream scoop. I think Popeyes cooks them from frozen pucks now.
Our red beans had the Popeyes logo too but we added beef fat and tasso to change flavor slightly.
Also used to fry everything in beef tallow shortening. But they changed to vegetables oil and everything fried started to taste bland.

That’s why I can only eat one. They’re just too salty!

Correct. My buddy used to do some distribution for them and always had bags of them he would give away.

When I was in college I asked my amazing cook grandma how everything she cooked was better than I cooked, even using her recipe.
She said it "was 80 years of love in her cooking. And of course the bacon fat that goes in everything that isn't on the recipe cards"
*her recipe cards were hand written from her grandma

Popeye's biscuits aren't near as good now as back in the 1980's. They used to be scrumptious-- soft and rich flavored. Now they're no better than KFC or Churchs Fried Chicken

There’s 3-4 biscuit plants in Tulsa that make biscuits for the chains like McD’s, KFC, and Popeyes.
My drinking buddy had a good paying job cleaning up the grease on a regular schedule for the bakeries using genetically modified bacteria. He’d just grab a bucket of water and open package about the size of the family size BD almonds and stir, then pour into the storage tanks and floor drains. The bio bugs would eat the grease and after a few generations die off leaving nothing but water behind.

Popeyes food is a shadow of what it once was. Your description explains why. The young ones here going Gaga over Popeyes just don’t understand how much better the food was 30 years ago.
