Cheddar Bay Biscuits

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.

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.

Do you use a Silpat when you bake?  You may have noticed that most of my recipes say to line a baking sheet with a silpat.  I use them for just about everything.  Cookies, bread, pizza…pretty much anything that goes on a baking sheet, I bake it on a Silpat.  They are the easiest thing to clean, they last for years, and I really couldn’t live without them.  Do you have a Silpat?  Lucky for you, the lovely people from Silpat want to give one of your own!

A quick and easy made from scratch version of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Servings: 14
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbls baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 stick 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.

  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!!

  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. 🙂
