CopyCat Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Biscuits
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cold butter cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar grated
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a parchment covered baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, garlic powder and salt. Whisk this together
- Add in the cold cubed butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to blend it with the dry mixture. The butter should be pea sized by the time you have mixed it all in.
- Add the milk to the bowl fold together with a rubber spatula until a thick but sticky dough forms.
- Pour in the grated cheddar cheese and fold into the mixture, spreading the cheese evenly throughout the dough.
- Take large tablespoon sized dollops of the dough and transfer to the parchment covered baking sheet. Part of the Red Lobster’s biscuit look is its imperfect edges, so no need to try to create the perfect round biscuit.
- Place the biscuits in the oven for 17-20 minutes or until the tops have slightly started to brown
- About 5 minutes before the biscuits are done, prepare the garlic butter.
- Add the parsley, garlic powder, and italian seasoning to the melted butter and whisk together thoroughly. You can taste to see if it is salty enough for your liking.
- Once the biscuits have been removed from the oven, heavily brush them with the garlic butter sauce.
- Serve while still warm and enjoy!
Notes:
- If you only have unsalted butter add extra salt to the garlic butter or opt for garlic salt instead of garlic powder
