Description

These Red Lobster-style biscuits are irresistibly buttery, cheesy, and packed with garlic flavor. Soft on the inside with a golden crust, they’re perfect for serving alongside soups, salads, or a hearty main course. Made with simple pantry ingredients and ready in just 20 minutes, these copycat biscuits bring that beloved restaurant taste right to your kitchen.

Ingredients

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Melt Butter for Dough: Place 1 stick of unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds until melted, then set aside to use in the biscuit dough.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, garlic powder, and kosher salt until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter and whole milk into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently just until the flour is fully moistened; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mild cheddar cheese carefully using a spoon, ensuring cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Using a spoon, drop heaping portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow rising.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops turn a golden brown color and the biscuits are cooked through.
  8. Prepare Butter Topping: While the biscuits bake, melt 1/2 a stick of unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley with a pastry brush or spoon.
  9. Brush Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the melted butter mixture to enhance flavor and add a glossy finish.
  10. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness reminiscent of Red Lobster’s famous biscuits.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for best flavor and texture; buttermilk can be substituted for a tangier biscuit.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
  • For a sharper cheese flavor, swap mild cheddar for sharp cheddar if desired.
  • Brush the butter topping immediately after baking to allow it to soak into the warm biscuits.
  • Biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
