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

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

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.

    i was so excited to try these, i actually made them at at 2am! but, alas, i am a cheese lover & added extra cheddar & some parmesan - wrong, so wrong!! they came out way too salty *ugh* next time i'll stick with your recipe! in the meantime, any suggestions on what i can do with these super salt-i-licious biscuits? (i spent 10 years in a third world country, i refuse to throw food away if i can absolutely help it - it hurts my heart) any suggestions would be appreciated!
  • JoyfulAbode
    ohhhh noooo! So sorry they came out that way for you. Yeah, the original recipe is already plenty salty (I'm a salt lover) so more than that wouldn't be so good.
    Maybe you could make something like chicken pot pie filling (or a thick soup/stew), and bake it by itself, but serve it with the biscuits crumbled on top.. that way you could let the saltiness distribute through the filling/soup flavor because you'd be eating spoonsful of soup+ a little bit of biscuit in each bite.
  • indayluvs
    mmm, chicken pot pie filling! that sounds delicious, i think i'll try that, thank you so much! i was thinking it might also go well crumbled over the creamy red pepper soup - heeey! think i'll try both this weekend! hope your doing well!
  • JoyfulAbode
    Oh good, I hope it works out for you. I think it will be nice though. :)
    Definitely try the red pepper soup - regardless of whether you use the biscuits on/with it or not! It's sooooo good.
    And thank you for asking - I am doing quite well. I came home from work today to an amazing-smelling house and a husband cooking me brisket!!! And I just had a couple sips of a yummy merlot. I'm a happy camper.
  • Oh wow.... I want to make this tonight... So tempting! :)
  • OysterJimmie
    The real secret is that they dont actually make them from scratch. The biscuts come out of a can. Pillsbury I think.
  • chris
    This recipe is actually on the bisquick box. Been making them for years.

    Before my friend Howard and I worked together at a restaurant in Maryland, he had managed a Red Lobster. He knew how to make these biscuits, and used to make them for the staff, who gobbled them up. His ingredients and procedure almost exactly matched yours, although he did use parsley and not oregano, but I don't think that's awfully important--it's mostly the cheese, butter,and garlic. Howard never added any ranch dressing mix, but I guess there's no harm in that--it is tasty stuff.

    For those of you who can't get Bisquick or Jiffy mix or whatever, here's a DIY version. No offense to the good people at Bisquick or Jiffy or whatever, but it's just as good, and cheaper.

    5 1/2 cups sifted flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    3 tablespoons baking powder
    1 cup vegetable shortening
    1 tablespoon powdered sugar

    Mix it all together until it looks kind of crumbly, and keep it in a sealed container. It'll hold for quite a while--months, at least.
  • Kim
    I just made these. they were great. I do think ranch mix with butter might be alittle closer. I will try that next time. Thanks for sharing.
  • matt

  • Adelina
    This biscuit is the Only reason I would want to go to Red Lobster restaurant every once in a blue moon! I love the biscuit and I always greedily ask for a "to go" bag with a couples of buiscuits!!!

    I definitely need to try this at home sometimes! Thanks for the wonderful pictorial step-by-step instructions!
  • Those biscuits are perfect! I think they tase super!
  • JoyfulAbode
    Glad you like them!
  • Mindy
    How did you take those pictures? Did you tape a webcam to your head?
  • JoyfulAbode
    Haha, no but that's a good idea.
    Sometimes when I need "action shots" I ask my husband to help me take pictures. :) He's a fantastic helper and knows to take a million shots so that at least a few will be usable.
  • Erica
    I just tried these and they taste JUST LIKE the ones at red lobster! Couldnt be more pleased with them :) thank you for posting!!
  • Glad you like them! You are so welcome.
  • I love these!
    Thank you for posting the recipe. i can't wait to make them with my next dinner!
  • Diana
    Arenda, the recipe should make about 12 biscuits. And I would recommend using parchment paper rather than greasing a cookie sheet. I made them tonight and it's hard to keep away from them - they are addictive!!
  • Wendy
    I just went to the Red Lobster website and they have apparently noticed that none of the "guesses" of the recipe on the web have added baking soda to which they recommend doing so. And I don't believe that oregano is correct, it's parsley.
  • Arenda
    I read through the comments, but no one seems to ask this. How many does the recipe you used make?
  • Kaylan
    I made these tonight - great recipe! I think I may need to adjust for the oven I used though. They came out a tad dry, a bit undercooked in the middle and a little overdone on the bottom. But wonderful flavor...delicious midnight snack :)
  • jackie
    I will be making these today> Thanks for the recipe.
  • These look freaking delicious! Thank you so much for sharing, no longer do I have to go to Red Lobster when I crave these biscuits. I could probably make 12 batches for what a dinner at Red Lobster would cost!
  • Shelley
    How much do you want for your ring? Or where can I find one like it?

    I just tried the biscuits and yum, yum, yum!!!! Thanks so much for sharing and I'm serious about the ring!!!!!!
  • Happy
    I found your website last night and just finished making these yummy biscuits! My husband is in heaven! They were great!
  • Sinisa
    many thanks
    regards

  • Sinisa, I found this recipe for the biscuit mix on another website by googling:

    8 cups flour
    1 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
    1/4 cup baking powder
    1 tablespoon salt
    2 cups shortening

    Combine flour, milk, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening. Store in tightly closed container in cool place.

    I hope that helps!
  • Sinisa
    Please, what is inside of that buttermilk biscuit mix. I am in Croatia and here is very unusual to make food with pre-prepared mix. Many thanks.
  • Jay
    These were great loved them! Great Recipe
  • Kerry
    ...it's not oregano, or parsley, it's powdered RANCH DRESSING! You mix it in with the butter.
  • staci
    beautiful rings!

    mandy- you are probably at a different altitude. I've moved around a bit and noticed that i have to alter recipes a little for different altitudes. i would try cooking them at a lower temp. not too much though.
  • Ahh! These look absolutely delicious! Great recipe!
