cheddar bay biscuit help

[quiggibub]

There are several recipes floating around in the intertubes for copies of Red Lobster's biscuits. My wife and I have tried several, and none of them seem to get the texture or the top flavoring quite right. Have any of you ever gotten them to taste/feel IDENTICAL to the ones Red Lobster has? I have decided never to go there again for dinner

The closest one I've ever tried involved Bisquick, milk, and cheddar cheese, topped with a mix of melted butter & garlic powder.

However, I haven't eaten at a Red Lobster in years (for, uh, reasons similar to the one you listed), so I honestly can't tell you how exact they are. They're close enough for me =D

That's one we've tried before. The texture was a bit more dense than normal and the tops needed salt. They were kind of tasty, but not quite right.

Have you tried Lawry's Garlic Salt for the tops? That's what I always assumed it was. My brother works for RL, so I can try and pump him for info. lol

That's the recipe we always used too. They came out pretty darned close.

bid for freedom?

please to explain....

I'm guessing vomit or diarrhea.

oh, that makes more sense. I was imagining a shrimp scuttling off the plate and out the door.

LOL I totally pictured The Little Mermaid.

I haven't had Red Lobster's biscuits in years, but my current favorite recipe is the Biscuits Supreme recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook (the drop biscuit variety). I add a bunch of garlic powder (probably close to 1/4 cup - yeah, it sounds like a lot, but is good) and shredded cheese. I also have varied the green seasonings a bit, but Penzey's Bavarian seasoning seems to be the best (www.penzeys.com). And yeah, brush with a bit of garlic butter on top.

I don't know from Red Lobster - but this recipe is the YUM. I have a few more cheesy biscuit recipes if you are interested...

Cheddar Cheese Scones

2 1/4 cups self rising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 cup (packed) coarsely shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs (divided)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Sesame seeds

Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in chives and cheese.
Whisk milk, one egg, oil, mustard in separate bowl and gradually add to dry ingredients, tossing until moist clumps form - you can add a little more milk if dough is dry.

Turn dough out into flowered surface; knead just until dough comes together.

Pat dough into 1 inch thick round. Using 2 1/2 inch diameter cutter, cut out scones . Gather dough scraps and repeat. Transfer to baking sheet.

Whisk remaining egg in small cup; brush over scones, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Cook at 425 degrees for 14 minutes. They’ll be golden on top.

This is the recipe I use and I think its really close. The only difference I think is there may be butter in the biscuits and not just on top. I went there just recently and made this recipe within a few days.
