Red Lobster Cheddar biscuits
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 cups All-purpose flour or baking mix 🥯
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (the more, the better!) 🧀
- ¾ cup Cold whole milk 🥛
- ½ cup Cold butter, cubed 🧈
- The Garlic Topping:
- ¼ cup Melted butter 🧈
- ½ tsp Garlic powder 🧄
- 1 tsp Dried parsley or fresh thyme 🌿
- Optional: A pinch of salt and black pepper 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep for Heat: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup! 🔌🔥🥇
- Mix the Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and seasoning. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. 🥣🌪️✨
- Cheesy Goodness: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough. 🧀🤝✅
- Add the Liquid: Gently stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix—you want them tender and flaky! 🥛🥄🎨
- Scoop & Drop: Use a large spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded mounds of dough onto the baking sheet. You should see those beautiful, craggy peaks as shown in the photo! 🥯🥄💎
- Bake to Gold: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are firm and the tops are starting to turn a light golden-brown. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Magic Finish: While the biscuits are baking, mix your melted butter with garlic powder and herbs. 🧄🧈🌿
- Brush & Serve: The second they come out of the oven, brush that garlic butter generously over the hot biscuits so it soaks in. Look at that shine! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Herb” Secret: As shown in the photo, adding a sprinkle of dried thyme or parsley right on top before or after baking adds a beautiful professional touch! 🌿🛡️💎
- The “Cold” Hack: Keep your butter and milk as cold as possible right up until the moment you use them. This is what creates those airy, flaky layers inside the biscuit! ❄️🎯✅
