How to Make Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Ingredients: (full recipe below)

• Bisquick (or you could use my DIY Homemade Bisquick Baking Mix!)
• Cheddar Cheese – you can use pre-shredded cheese, but shredding your own helps create a really cheesy biscuit
• milk – I like whole milk for this recipe for a really rich taste
• butter – real butter is best
• garlic powder, parsley – for brushing on the tops after the biscuits come out of the oven.

How to make this Red Lobster Copycat Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. I love lining my baking sheets because washing them in the sink is such a pain! Tossing out parchment paper or washing a silicone mat is so much easier.

Step 2

Combine the biscuit mix, cheese, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir them until well combined, adjusting the amount of milk to create the desired biscuit consistency.

Step 3

Drop by teaspoon full onto your prepared baking sheet then bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 4

During the last minute or two of baking for your biscuits, melt the butter in the microwave, and then add the spices. Once you pull the biscuits from the oven, brush the buttery mix over the warm biscuits and serve them immediately.

FAQS

How to Store and Freeze Biscuits 

Refrigerated leftover biscuits retain more moisture and are tastier when reheated in the microwave. But they can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want to freeze your biscuits, make sure they are completely cool, then place in a freezer-safe, airtight container, and use them within three months.

Can you freeze the dough for this Red Lobster Biscuit Recipe?

You can make and freeze the dough ahead of time for an even faster prep! Just combine the dough ingredients and flash freeze them in individual portions. Once the dough balls are solid, place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to bake them, extend the baking time by about five minutes.

What are some great toppings for Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

These soft biscuits really don’t need toppings but a little bit of butter mixture won’t hurt. Since they’re already made with a garlic butter sauce, adding a tad bit more melted butter will take them over the top.

If this is the first time that you’re making up this Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, you’re going to love this homemade version. It’s one of those simple recipes that are perfect for date night or a simple homemade recipe that is going to treat your taste buds to pure heaven.
