This is a copycat recipe for the Red Lobster biscuits. Soooo yummy, especially when they are warm right out of the oven. Buttery, garlicky, and cheesy.
We ate these biscuits as a snack, but they would make a great side dish to a salad (like THIS one) and baked chicken.
Red Lobster Biscuits
Ingredients (makes about 18 biscuits):
- 2 C. all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
- 1 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese (I used frozen Colby Jack and it tasted great too.)
- 1 C. buttermilk (or substitute), preferably near room temperature
- 1/2 C. unsalted butter, melted (mine exploded in the microwave, so I didn’t use a full 1/2 C., probably 6 Tbsp. and the biscuits were still delicious!)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, parsley flakes, and cheese.
- In a separate bowl, stir together melted butter and the buttermilk.
- Pour liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix with a rubber spatula just until moist.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the baking sheet (I used about 2 Tbsp./biscuit).
- Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
