Red Lobster may offer up a vast variety of crave-worthy crustaceans, but we’d dine there even if all they served was a platter of Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Salty, savory, and tender, these biscuits are so irresistible that we had to come up with our own take on the bread-basket staple. See the recipe to find out the secret to their Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Ingrediens
For the biscuit dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Old Bay Seasoning, to taste
- 1 teaspoon parsley, minced
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 475°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and Old Bay Seasoning. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and melted butter. The butter will harden as it cools from being combined with the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding the two together with a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined.
- Scoop out the dough in 1/4-cup portions, adding each biscuit to the parchment-lined half-sheet pan. Leave 1 inch between each biscuit. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- While the biscuits bake, whisk together the remaining melted butter, garlic powder, Old Bay Seasoning, and parsley. Brush the baked biscuits with the butter topping, and serve warm.
