Red Lobster Copycat Biscuits Tips
These are really easy to make — everything is mixed in one bowl, and with one spoon! Gotta love that!!
- Melted butter is key. What makes this cheddar biscuit recipe stand out is the melted butter! Normally, you would need cold butter for biscuits, and it’s more of a process. This is way easier and makes them more flavorful and moist.
- Go for clean hands. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty you can use two spoons to drop the biscuits or use a large cookie scoop (1/4 cup size).
- Don’t overmix the dough. Overmixing the garlic biscuits dough will lead to crumbly and dense biscuits. Instead, mix until just combined and call it good.
I was pretty pleased with the outcome of these garlic cheddar biscuits, and the kids asked if they were from Red Lobster so I call that a success!!
FAQS:
CAN YOU FREEZE GARLIC CHEDDAR BISCUITS?
Yes, these biscuits will freeze well. Cool completely then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
HOW DO YO REHEAT GARLIC BISCUITS?
To reheat, place one frozen biscuit in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. For the oven, wrap biscuits in a foil “package” and bake at 300 degrees F for about 20 minutes.
CAN I MAKE THIS CHEDDAR BISCUIT RECIPE IF I DON’T HAVE BUTTERMILK?
Yes, technically you can swap the buttermilk with high fat milk. The fat adds moisture and flavor to the garlic cheese biscuits. However, regular milk is going to change the flavor and texture of the garlic biscuits.
You can make homemade buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice (or vinegar) to a cup of regular milk. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
