These Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a perfect copycat of the beloved Red Lobster version, delivering that delicious, cheesy, garlicky flavor with a golden, buttery finish and a soft, flaky interior.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

¾ cup unsalted butter (1½ sticks), divided

1 cup whole milk

8 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese

½ teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cut ½ cup of butter (1 stick) into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  6. Use a spoon to drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  8. While the biscuits are baking, melt the remaining ¼ cup of butter (½ stick) in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and the dried parsley.
  9. Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the garlic butter glaze over the top of each biscuit.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
  • For variations, try adding cooked beef, cayenne pepper, fresh herbs, or extra garlic.
  • Reheat the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  • If using salted butter, reduce the added salt in the recipe.
