cheddar biscuits recipe
Thanks to that secret restaurant recipe cookbook, I unlocked the mystery of cheddar biscuits tonight.
This is about a half batch, measurements are approximate and will vary slightly depending on the relative humidity in your kitchen, as is the case with all doughy things. :)
preheat oven to 375F
2 cups Bisquick
6 oz cold water
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
-mix all the above until you get a soft, slightly sticky dough
-divide into 8-12 lumps and drop them onto a lightly-greased or lined cookie sheet (Silpat-type silicone mats work very well for this, parchment paper might too).
-bake for 10-15 or until tops of the drop biscuits are lightly browned
-in the meantime, melt a couple tablespoons butter and mix in about 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of the following:
garlic powder
onion powder
dried parsley
salt
-brush the seasoned butter over the biscuits after you take them out of the oven (next time I might try brushing and putting the biscuits back in the oven for a minute or two)
That's it! Super easy and super tasty. I think it's been a year since I've had the biscuits at Red Lobster, but I *think* these come pretty close. And if they don't, they're pretty yummuy anyway. =) If you make just 8, which is what I did, they're pretty hefty. Next time I'll divide it into 12 lumps of dough and each one will still be sufficiently big. Makes for better portion control too, I wolfed down 3-4 tonight! O_O
