Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are soft, cheesy, and buttery drop biscuits with a savory garlic-herb topping. This easy homemade version delivers all the flavor of the restaurant favorite in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Add milk and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop 10–12 portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. While the biscuits bake, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl.
  9. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the hot biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or chopped chives to the dough.Don’t overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months; reheat directly from frozen in the oven.
