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!
