Ingredients to Make Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Making copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits only requires a few simple ingredients! I love that I can recreate the amazing flavor and texture of these biscuits with just pantry staples.

Biscuits

All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour works great because it gives your biscuits a nice, fluffy structure. Sugar: Adding a bit of sugar to your biscuit dough balances the flavor. Baking Powder: For a biscuit that is airy and flaky, baking powder is key! Garlic Powder: Garlic is a must for that perfect savory flavor in your Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits! Salt: Enhances the overall flavor. Buttermilk: Buttermilk is what makes these biscuits so rich and soft! You can use storebought, but I always like making mine from scratch! It’s super easy! Butter: I use unsalted butter in my biscuit dough. Since we’re adding salt and garlic powder, I don’t want my butter to make the biscuits too salty. Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar cheese is going to give your biscuits the most amazing flavor because it’s perfectly savory and sharp.

Garlic Butter Topping

Butter: Melted butter is the base for the garlic butter topping. Tastes great, too! Garlic Powder: A little garlic powder brushed on top of your biscuits makes all the difference because each bite is packed with flavor! Fresh Parsley: Finely chopped parsley is the perfect aromatic finishing touch. It adds a hint of peppery, fresh flavor.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe

Making these copycat Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits is beyond easy! Only 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes in the oven! You’ll have warm, tasty biscuits in no time at all.

Cheese: Cheddar is a classic addition to this recipe, but you can mix and match other cheeses to your liking! I love switching these up with fresh parmesan or gouda. For a little kick, add shredded pepper jack! Additional Flavors: If you want a bit of heat in your biscuits, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your dough! And if you love fresh herbs like me, then add a little Italian seasoning to your butter glaze! How to Serve Cheddar Biscuits: These tasty biscuits work well as a side for anything. For a complete meal, serve these biscuits with your favorite pasta, grilled salmon, and a side salad!

At Room Temperature: This is my preferred way of storing them. Keep your biscuits in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for 3-4 days. To Reheat: Pop individual biscuits in the microwave for 10-15 second intervals until warm. For bigger batches, wrap biscuits in foil, place on a baking sheet, and warm at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes. In the Freezer: Both unbaked and baked rolls can be frozen. Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
