Red Lobster Cheese and Garlic Biscuits

by Jamie
I’ve got a great little recipe for you today, my friends. 
Isn’t that what you came for?
A recipe 
that’s 
great.
And only takes a little bit of time.
I thought so!
If you’ve eaten at Red Lobster you know the best thing swimming around that joint are the Cheese and Garlic Biscuits. 
The live Lobsters they having swimming in the front lobby may also be very tasty. 
Never tried them. 
Too busy with the biscuits.
Also not in love with making eye contact with my dinner.
If you hate fish (and Red Lobster)
please don’t hold it against these beautiful biscuits. 
They are buttery
and garlicky
and cheesy
and 
melt in your mouth delicious.
Hope you make them today! 

Red Lobster Cheese and Garlic Biscuits

Time: 10 minutes prep + 10 minutes baking 
Yield: 12 biscuits
Recipe adapted from All Recipes
1 3/4 C flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
pinch granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
1 t dried parsley
5 T cold butter
1 C milk
1 C cheddar cheese, shredded
3 T butter, melted
1/8 t granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
 
1. Get your self a large bowl. Toss the flour, salt, baking powder, pinch of garlic and parsley together to mix. 
2. Cut your cold butter into chunks. 

                           

3. Add the butter chunks to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender cut the butter into the mixture. 
Keep mixing until it looks like coarse crumbs.  Should only take a couple of minutes. 
4. Make a well in the bowl. 
Pour your milk right on into that well. 

                           

Using a wooden spoon and mix the ingredients together. Don’t over mix here. You should stop mixing just before everything is incorporated.
5. Toss your shredded cheddar into the bowl and stir just until incorporated. 
 Yes that’s me in the spoons reflection, holding the camera, wearing a big striped apron and no makeup. I don’t get too dressed up for biscuits. Just sayin.
6. Spoon the dough onto a large cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. 
7. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy along the tops and bottoms.
8. To your 3 T melted butter add 1/8 t of garlic. 
9. Brush the hot biscuits with the garlic butter and serve. They are best served warm from the oven. 

Enjoy!

If my daughter could have physical contact with you, she would hug you, kiss you, and shake your hand. She loves these biscuits. I may have to surprise her.

Dearest Carolyn,Sorry, I am not as you in the pink but in the yellow with fresh Sweetness dadflfios from our garden. Crazy to have flowers in January; maybe a making good for the scorching heat and drought in July/August?Your pink photos are lovely! You have a natural knack for putting flowers and pretty china with lace together! Tough in winter time but also that time will pass!How is your grandson doing; thinking about him and wondering how things developed…All the best to you and your family with love from Georgia,Mariette

Hi Jamie! I love your blog and have made many of your recipes, especially your bread recipes, with great success. However, this one just didn't work for me. The dough was really wet and the biscuits came out flat. They didn't rise at all. Any ideas? I felt like it needed more flour and/or baking powder. Help! :0)

Laura,
Bless you for bringing this to my attention. The measurement originally given for the flour was off. You need 1 3/4 C instead of 1 1/3 C. So sorry for your wasted time and ingredients! Hope you give them another try! Thanks again for letting me know of the issue. Have a great night.

Hi Jamie,
Phew! Thank you for the correction. We actually still ate all of the biscuits. They were very yummy! We called them “flatbread” and felt very swanky! LOL! Keep up the great work!

Your photos are amazing..and yeah for Red Lobster's biscuits. I could make a meal out of those biscuits! Yours look just like them..a must try.

Baking powder or baking soda? On the printable, the ingredient list has powder, but the body of the recipe says soda. I tried them this weekend using baking powder, and they didn't rise at all…the taste was okay but the texture was way off. Which leads me to assume it's supposed to be baking soda but wanted to check before I try them again!

Hi Joy,
So sorry, but there are two errors in the recipe you printed off. The corrections have been made now if you would like to print it off a second time and give it another try. You need baking powder, however the original flour measurement was off. You need 1 3/4 cup instead of 1 1/3 C. Sorry for your wasted time and ingredients! Hope you try them again and they turn out well.

Easy and yummy! Great to whip up for a quick side. .. I think they would also be really good with a spicy ranch dressing. 🙂 Thanks again Jamie~! I'm sure I'll be on your blog often!

Do you think you can make the batter ahead of time and them just pop the cookie sheets in the oven closer to dinner time? (I am always looking to do the prep work ahead)
Cant wait to make these with the crispy chicken!

Anonymous,
I haven't ever tried making the batter ahead of time. My thoughts are it might not work super well, because of the baking powder? But, I could be wrong. 🙂 I'd love to know if you try and how things go. Good luck!

Hmmm I mayhave to try these and flash freeze a biscuit or 2 to see how they do .. would be great to make a batch and have them ready in the freezer to throw in the oven as my husband tends to bring some of the single soldiers home for dinner. Spaghetti or a Alfredo dish would be super yummy and a treat for them.

I'm new to this, what does the t behind the ingredients mean?

Hi there,
The small t stands for teaspoon, the upper case T stands for Tablespoon.
Good luck!

Sorry, but even with the changes you made I found these to be flat, way too cheesy, and not nearly enough garlic to compre them to Red Lobster’s. I’ll keep looking for a copycat recipe. However, my kiddos did like them. My husband and I, not so much. Might be a recipe I can tweak enough to make it work. Thanks, though.

I’ve tried a few Red Lobster copy cats & so far this is my favorite! They were a little flat, but the flavor/texture was wonderful. I’ll add a little more garlic next time…I was too worried about over doing it first time around;) Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Jamie,

First off, I have tried several of your recipes on the site and love them.

As for this recipe, people seem to be saying they are a little flat. My rule in baking is that one should use baking soda when using milk and baking powder when using an acid like buttermilk. Think pancakes!

I’ll give them a try both ways and let you know how it goes.

John November 13, 2012 - 4:43 pm

OOPS! I had that backwards! See how easy it is to screw up? 🙂

Now that I think of it, maybe it would just need a touch more baking POWDER?

Sorry.
