Cheddar Bay Biscuits

We used to look forward to going to Red Lobster for their food and especially their complimentary biscuits. Now that we don’t go there anymore, we still reminisce about their biscuits. So couple of months ago, we were craving their biscuits and decided to google up recipes. We came across tons and after much research, we decided to settle on one with the most amount of positive reviews.

We made a batch for ourselves and they turned out great (delicious)! We loved how quickly and easily we were able to bake the biscuits. It doesn’t require using a stand mixer or any other mixer. You literally mix all the ingredients by hand (or fork) and use an ice cream scoop to scoop’em on the cookie tray.

So here’s the recipe we followed:

Ingredients to make 12: 2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix ¾ cup cold whole milk or buttermilk 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick) ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1 heaping cup grated Cheddar cheese Brush on Top: 2 tablespoons butter, melted ¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes ½ teaspoon garlic powder pinch salt Directions: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a knife and fork or your hands until small chunks of butter the size of peas remain. Add grated Cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix. Drop approximately 1/4 cup sized mounds of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using two large spoons. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in salt, garlic powder, and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Makes one dozen biscuits.

Please note: 

• We baked our batch for 10 minutes.

We’ve baked these biscuits on a number of occasions for our friends and family and they’ve always been a big hit! Happy Baking!
