Homemade Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

I like Red Lobster, not for the seafood, because quite frankly I hate seafood and fish, but for the biscuits. I love Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits, they are beyond delicious.

This homemade version is the best one I have tried. To make it even better it does not call for any prepackaged baking mix and is super easy to make.

If you are a fan of Red Lobster's biscuits then this recipe is for you. 

Homemade Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Ingredients:

Biscuits

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Topping

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 475º F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Stir in cheddar cheese.
3. In a medium bowl combine the buttermilk and the melted butter. Stir until the butter forms small clumps.
4. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and using a rubber spatula, gently mix just until the dough comes together and there are no more dry ingredients visible.
5. Using a greased 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the dough and place on prepared baking sheet leaving just over an inch between biscuits.
6. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
7. While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, garlic powder and parsley.
8. \When the biscuits are done immediately brush with them with the butter topping mixture.
9. Allow biscuits to cool for about 5 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
