It’s a sad day for us Cheddar Bay Biscuits lovers. Red Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which means they have closed 48 restaurants across the US. I know at least one location has closed near me, so I felt it was time to start trying out copycat recipes of their os so yum cheesy goodness biscuits. I love biscuits, I always look for them on a menu. Being able to make these at home would actually be dangerous to my waistline! But we must!
By the way, I read a social media post that said that Red Lobster omitted the correct amount of an ingredient in the boxed mix, so unless you add it back in, you’ll never get the right flavor. With a recipe this finicky, I can’t guarantee that this one will be perfect, but it’s worth a try.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted butter, melted (227g)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk or regular milk
- Topping
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried or fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in cheese.
Combine melted butter and buttermilk until small lumps form.
Stir into dry ingredients.
Drop by ¼-cupfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Combine butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush on top of biscuits. Add extra cheese to melt on top if desired.
