If you love the Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster, then you are going to love this recipe! Not only do they taste just like the warm biscuits that you get at the restaurant, they are super easy to make!

I have been craving these biscuits for a while now. I haven’t been to Red Lobster in quite a long time and with the cold weather among us, I could use some delicious comfort food right now.

And these biscuits, along with Chicken Gnocchi Soup from Olive Garden, are on the top of my list of restaurant comfort food recipes. The biscuits are different and unique than any other type of complimentary bread that is found at other restaurants.

They are rustic style biscuits that are served warm and have bits of sharp cheddar cheese scattered throughout. Then they are topped with a buttery spread that will make your mouth water with just one bite!

But I have to admit, when I do go out to eat there, I fill up on the biscuits before my meal arrives. They are just so warm and delicious and I can’t help myself. And that means that my meal turns into a take out meal.

So today I decided instead of going out to the restaurant just for the biscuits, I would make them at home instead. And I have to admit, they turned out amazing and tasted just like the ones at Red Lobster!

And best of all, with just a few common ingredients you can make your own, restaurant quality biscuits right in your own kitchen.

Just be aware, once you and your family taste them, you will be asked to make them over and over again!

I recently bought a silicone baking mat and I am totally impressed! No more cutting and trimming parchment paper to fit my baking sheets.

And best of all, no more wasting money on a disposable product! If you haven’t purchased a silicone baking mat yet, I highly suggest you do so, or put it on your gift wish list!

biscuit dough — Once the dough has been made, scoop it out in 1/4 cup mounds on a prepared baking sheet.

Now that you have your oven set and the baking sheet ready to go, it is time to make the biscuits. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper, if using.

In a large glass measuring cup or a medium size bowl, whisk together buttermilk and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.

biscuits ready to be baked — Be sure to leave at least an inch of space between the biscuits when baking.

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. You can also use a large cookie scoop that is overflowing with the batter.

Although these Cheddar Bay Biscuits don’t expand greatly during the baking process, be sure to leave about 1 inch space between each one. Place the baking. pan into oven and bake until golden brown.

The Topping

While the biscuits are baking prepare the topping ingredients. Do this by whisking together the butter, parsley and garlic powder in a small bowl.

Then when they come out of the oven brush the top of each biscuit with the butter and parsley mixture. Let the biscuits absorb the topping for a few minutes before serving.
