How to Make Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits

These copycat cheddar bay biscuits come together in 5 easy steps, and less than 30 minutes. Let’s get into it:

Mix Dry Ingredients

Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder into a large bowl and mix.

Add 12 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour mixture. Using a dough cutter or fork, cut in the butter until you have pebble sized pieces, and then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Add Buttermilk

Next add in the buttermilk to the dough and use a spoon to stir together. If you have to, you can use your hands but leave that for the very end if possible. 

Scoop and quickly freeze Biscuit dough

Using a ¼ measuring cup, scoop out the biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

Place the biscuits into the freezer for 10 minutes and preheat the oven to 400℉.

Bake Cheddar Biscuits

Bake the biscuits at 400ºF for 18 minutes until the tops are slightly golden brown. 

Brush on Biscuit Toppings

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl, and mix in the garlic salt and dried parsley. Brush the butter mixture on top of the baked biscuits with a pastry brush. ENJOY!

FAQs

Pro Tips

There are a few tips we recommend following when you’re making a batch of these Red Lobster cheddar biscuits.

Use cold butter: Folding in COLD butter means your butter will be integrated into the dough in sheets rather than seeping into the dough. This creates a flakey biscuit!

Freeze the biscuits before baking: This also helps create the flakey layers in the biscuits. It’s only for 10 minutes, so don’t skip this!

Don’t have buttermilk? Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup. Then fill to the top with whole milk.

Storage

We suggest letting these cheddar biscuits cool completely before placing in an airtight container. They will last 2-3 days on the counter and 5-7 days in the refrigerator.

If you would like to freeze these biscuits, place them in a freezer safe container or bag after they have cooled. Freeze them for up to 3 months.
