Cheddar Bay Biscuits – a quick and easy homemade Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe, just like at Red Lobster

I think everyone knows about the infamous Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit.  They are light, fluffy, and completely addicting.  No matter what, I can’t keep my hand out of the basket when it shows up on the table.

I have tried recipes at home before, but they all called for Bisquick.  This time I wanted to start from scratch. These days you can even buy a box mix from the store, but there is just something about homemade! And by now, we all know I am a sucker for Biscuits!

I must say these are pretty darn close to the Red Lobster version.  They are super light and fluffy, with a hint of garlic, and just as addicting.  Plus they come together very quickly, and bake for just a few minutes.  So in a matter for 30 minutes, you can have a batch of these on the table.

I have made these a few times, and they always disappear quickly.  They even reheat well, if you have leftovers. They go with just about anything you want to make for dinner. But we love them with Crispy Baked Shrimp. Kind of makes you feel like you are eating out, when really you are eating a quick dinner at home.

I love creating restaurant favorites at home. It is a great way to enjoy the food you like, but at home with ingredients you feel good about.  Chicken Lo Mein is a staple in our  house, and so much better than take out.  You can add the veggies you like, use good quality chicken, and control the salt and other things.

Which is why I like this cheddar bay biscuit recipe. They may not be quite as buttery as the ones at the restaurant (but you could brush more butter on top if you wanted!), but I am ok with that. I get he flavor of my favorite, without the extra calories.  And if you want to make your meal complete, don’t miss the Copycat Red Lobster Tartar Sauce!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Cheddar Bay Biscuits
A quick and easy made from scratch version of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbls baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, , cold
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and garlic salt.
  3. Using your fingers, mix in 6 Tbls (cut into small cubes) of the butter. It will take a few minutes to work it in. You want it to be kind of crumbly.
  4. Add buttermilk, and mix until just combined. The less you handle the dough, the fluffier your biscuit will be.
  5. Fold in the cheese.
  6. Drop about 1/4 cup of dough onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake about 15-18 minutes. It will feel firm to the touch, and just starting to turn golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven.
  9. Melt remaining 2 Tbls of butter, mix with garlic powder.
  10. Brush the tops of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven with the melted butter.
  11. Best served warm

  2. Just a note, keep your butter and milk cold. Very cold. Work the butter to pea sized (or a little smaller) and then rechill the dough after mixed for about 20 minutes. Doing this will create much flakier biscuits and you will be working those happy feet under the table.

  27. These biscuits look fluffy and yummy. We used to have a Red Lobster very close by… now they are gone. 🙁 Well… good thing I can make these biscuits then. 🙂 Love Silpat. 🙂

  66. I made the Bisquick version of this recipe a few times many years ago, and my husband still requests it over and over again. I’m so excited to have a from scratch version to try now!!

  69. Those biscuits look marvelous. truth be told I never once made a biscuit without burning the bottom until I got a Silpat!

  78. I love Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster. I have seen other recipes & they usually have Old Bay seasoning in them, hence the “Bay” in “Cheddar Bay Biscuits”. I guess I will have to try with & without & see which recipes taste most like the real thing.

  84. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at Red Lobster but cheddar biscuits are a weakness. I love that you made yours from scratch and not Bisquick. Trying this recipe out soon. 🙂

  87. Shwans actually has red lobsters biscuits that you just bake in the oven.

    But tried your recipe and they are very good.
