Description
These Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a homemade version of the restaurant favorite. They’re buttery, garlicky, cheesy, and ready in just 20 minutes using pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (1 ½ sticks), divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients; whisk until just moistened.
- Fold in shredded cheddar cheese with a spoon.
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown.
- While baking, melt the remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter, then stir in ¼ teaspoon salt and dried parsley.
- Brush the hot biscuits with the garlic butter mixture and serve warm.
Notes
- Use buttermilk for a tangier flavor or almond milk for a dairy-free option.
- Try sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a cheese blend for variety.
- Add herbs or spice (like cayenne) to suit your taste.
- Chilling the dough before baking helps biscuits keep their shape.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
