Cheddar Biscuits (Red Lobster Style)

How about a second entry tonight to celebrate the start of my new blog? Game on.

Here is my attempt at Cheddar Biscuits - the only real reason we go to Red Lobster.


Now, there are many recipes similar out there for imitations, but let's breakdown this adaption and the ingredients I used:

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

1 1/4 cup of finely shredded Cheddar Cheese (Extra Sharp is a plus)
4 tbsp Salted Butter (1/2 stick - not softened)
3/4 cup Whole Milk
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 tsp Garlic Power

1. In a large bowl, mix Bisquick and butter. Your goal here is to break down the butter into small pieces - this can be accomplished using an fork and pressing the butter down into the Bisquick. You only want to break down enough so that the butter is distributed but you don't need to mix it as much as you think.

2. Now is a good time to preheat your oven to 400F. You can now add in your cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and whole milk. Feel free to get a bit messy here and mixing with your hands is the best way to blend the ingredients.



3. Break out the baking sheet and place balls of the mixture on the ungreased sheet. Mine were slightly smaller than hockey pucks because I wanted to oversize them but you can make them smaller if you want more smaller biscuits (I ended with 7 but you can definitely stretch to a dozen or so small biscuits).

4. Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits brown slightly.

5. Once the biscuits are done, you will want to spread the butter topping on them for added flavor. Here is what to use:

3 tbsp Salted Butter
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Parsley Flakes
Salt to taste

6. Melt the butter in a glass cup/bowl. Simply mix in the remaining ingredients. This will be your butter topping to spread on the hot biscuits. I used a brush but if you don't have one, you could carefully pour on the biscuits.

7. Enjoy! Don't forget to share them with friends and if you are feeling brave, play around with this recipe to make it your own!
