I have proclaimed my love of Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits before. I’ve been meaning to try and recreate these forever, but sometimes I’m just really lazy.
Last weekend I felt it was my mission to make biscuits. And I did. And they were awesome.
I used Bakergirl’s recipe almost to a T. You can see it here.
The dough comes together very quickly. I just used a fork to mash up the butter into the flour and used my hand to bring it all together. I grated my own cheese, too. So fancy.
Once they came out, I made up the butter-parsley-garlic powder mix and brushed them all over the biscuits. I used more like 4 tablespoons of butter with freshly chopped parsley and I added a sprinkling of kosher salt on top of each biscuits instead of putting it into the butter.
The verdict? Jake said he liked these more than Red Lobster’s. I call that a success.
OMG. I think I love you. The cheddar biscuits are the only reason I even want to go to Red Lobster! And if Jake says yours are better, I am totally on board!
I love their cheddar biscuits! This quote from Tina Fey’s autobiography, Bossy Pants, hit a note with me:
“There is no one of-woman-born who does not like Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a Socialist.”
Hi Leanne – You must make them! It was surprisingly easy, too.
Hi Darlene – That is a great quote from Tina Fey! I believe it.
Those look ridiculously tasty … omg
OMG I love those biscuits! And yours a better. How can that be wrong?
very nice mary! i tried making a version of these last year as well. several times in fact. i used chopped chives in my batter. i liked you put the sea salt on top of the biscuits – i’ll have to do that next time!
Hey CC – The salt on top of the biscuit was really good – it gave it that little punch of flavor. I think it worked better than putting it into the butter mixture. Hmm, might have to try it with chives next time, too!
Those are just about the only reason to get near a red lobster when you live in San Diego. Thanks for the recipe!
