Red Lobster Biscuits

It’s no surprise Red Lobster is famous for their biscuits — they’re cheesy, fluffy, warm and smothered in an irresistible garlic butter. No meal is complete without them!

I was completely hooked on these biscuits throughout college, but with a very limited budget, Red Lobster dining didn’t happen all that often. Luckily for me, in my sophomore year of college I had a roommate that made Red Lobster Biscuits with Bisquick® mix. Every time she’d pull them out of the oven, we’d all run to the kitchen. Between those warm biscuits and her “famous” Oreo balls she’d make every few weeks, we felt very fortunate to be rooming with her!

And all these years later, I still crave these biscuits. But over the years I’ve created my own without the Red Lobster Biscuit Mix or the package of Bisquick. No shame in using either, because both can make a crazy delicious biscuit. But with how easy they are to make from scratch, I say why not?!

What Are Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits?

A rolled or American-style biscuit recipe typically involves a biscuit that rises about twice the original hight with a crusty exterior and a flat top with straight sides. In contrast a drop biscuit typically has more liquid to create a wetter dough. The dough is so wet that it is too hard to knead or roll so instead you “drop” it onto a baking sheet and bake!

Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits are a form of drop biscuits with melty pockets of sharp Cheddar throughout. The fresh-from-the-oven biscuits are dredged in a fragrant garlic-herb butter sauce which makes them even that much tastier!
