Cheesy Garlic Biscuits a la Red Lobster - Step by Step Easy Recipe

posted in Recipes, Food, How-To |

 I posted about these amazingly delicious biscuits in September, but the post isn’t very complete, I didn’t give you my actual recipe, and the picture is somewhat lacking. So I decided to take pictures when I made them last weekend and give you a play-by-play with photos.

So here’s the copycat recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits (I think that’s what they’re called at Red Lobster, yes?) 

(One note, I doubled the recipe, so the pictures show twice as much stuff as what I’m telling you.)

Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a cooking sheet with nonstick spray.

Dump into a bowl: 2 cups of buttermilk biscuit mix (like Bisquick or Jiffy mix), 1/2 a teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

Stir everything together.

Pour in about 2/3 cups of milk. Stir until combined.

It gets pretty thick, and you can add a little more milk if you need to. But don’t add too much, otherwise it’ll get really sticky. See how my spoon is standing up straight by itself? I decided it would be easier to doff my rings…

And get my hands a little dirty. Hey… it works. And my hands were clean, I promise.

OK, now wash your hands and use the two-spoon method to drop lumps of the dough onto your cookie sheet.

Don’t they look nice, all lined up ready to be baked?

Stick them in the oven and set the timer to 10 minutes. Now, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and stir in 2 teaspoons of oregano and 1 teaspoon of garlic salt.

When the timer goes off (10 minutes, remember?) brush some of the butter mixture over each biscuit. Then, pop them back into the oven for another 5-6 minutes.

Or until they’re lightly browned. If you’d like, you can brush them with the garlic-herb butter again and let it soak in before you serve them.

If you’re having people over, you’d better double the recipe. These will get snatched up like hotcakes. Or, you know, like… cheesy garlic biscuits.

    Yummy…the efforts and passion you put in your blogging are clear. You have fun with it and that is refreshing. If you do everything with such fervour, the benefits and richness in your life are probably as good as this recipe looks.

    Thank you and I’ll certainly be back to visit.

    Me and my friend Leslie were just talking like… yesterday… about how good Red Lobster cheese biscuits are, and how she likes them even better than Olive Garden breadsticks. We’ll have to make these.

    Does your hubby take your pictures when both your hands are in the picture?

    Caroline, yes he does. It would be really cool to have a third hand to do it… or maybe a tripod and telepathy-activated shutter. But he’s really sweet about helping.

    Miffy, welcome! Sara… you should try them out. They’re yummy. Stephen, what kind words. Thank you! Meagan, maybe a certain someone’s wish will be granted.

    what is : buttermilk biscuit mix (like Bisquick or Jiffy mix), is it just some sort of powdered biscuit mix like you buy in the store?

    I enjoy your blogging, you look like a fun & create person, I just don’t know where you find the time..lol

    Great page:)

    stormz, yes, it’s a powdered biscuit mix. If you have a recipe for dough for drop biscuits (not cut biscuits) using your own recipe-from-scratch would probably work just as well.

    Those biscuits look delicious! I may have to give them a try. I can’t say I’ve had the Red Lobster ones, (darn fish & shellfish allergies) But I will absolutely be giving these a try. And I simply adore your rings too!

    My husband simply ADORES Red Lobster!! Sadly, his disability pension means that we can’t eat there anymore.

    But since the biscuits there were one of his favorite things, I’ll make them this weekend and try and pull him out of his downswing.

    Thanks, JA!!

    I just saw this on tastespotting and had a wicked flashback. I’ve only been to Red Lobster once, when I was about 7, but I remember the taste of these things. I guess they made an impression!

    Totally delectable!

    Just tried these, they were done in half an hour flat and they came out beautifully! I love how classy they look for how easy they were to do. My only comment would be that 2 tsp seemed like way too much oregano, and I’ll probably use a bit less in the future. Very nice, either way.

    Those look perfect and scrummy! I’m sure the ones from Red Lobster have dried parsley instead of oregano, though. I’m NOT an oregano fan, and I would not like the ones from Red Lobster if I tasted it in them.

    I’m going to use your recipe tomorrow, except put in the parsley instead of oregano. Thanks!

    When I saw your first post about these I drooled and swore I’d figure out how to make these. Since you reposted I just haven’t had the time. I’m making them tonight though and am super excited to try it out!
