Ingredients and Substitutions

Mix- Red lobster biscuit mix of choice. Options include Original Cheddar Bay, Honey Butter, Rosemary Garlic Parmesan, Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay and both Costco and Sam’s Club sell a large box with 4 portioned mixes. 

Milk - Buttermilk is best, but if your not a fan of the flavor half and half would be just as delicious. 

Cheese - Yellow cheddar of choice, medium, sharp or extra sharp. 

Butter - Salted or unsalted will be delicious. You can also use a butter substitute as well.

Seasonings - Extra dried parsley, garlic and onion powder

Tips & Suggestions

Preheat your oven first, prep and mixing the biscuit dough comes together quickly.

Try not to over mix the biscuit dough. Over mixing will make a tough textured biscuit. 

Use a large cookie or ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Will help to form a rounder biscuit. 

Don’t forget to line your sheet pan or baking tray with parchment paper. Helps to prevent sticking and easy clean up.

Try not to over bake the biscuits, it will have a dry texture. I baked nine portioned biscuits for 14 minutes. 

To reduce the sodium in the biscuits use unsalted butter and 1 cup of cheddar cheese in the dough. 

How To Serve 

After baking and letting the biscuits cool for about 5 minutes, serve them warm in a bread basket. 

What goes with red lobster biscuits? These are perfect as an appetizer or as a dinner side.

New England Clam Chowder

To add a touch extra flavor to a store bought New England Clam Chowder soup. Use salted butter and half and half. 

New England Clam Chowder soup is such a staple at Red Lobster. Years ago entrees came with a soup or salad and clam chowder was my go to. Dip the cheesy biscuits into the soup and Yum. 

 Leftovers and Reheating 

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or freezer ziplock bag in the fridge for up to 4 days and and can be frozen for up to 3 months. 

To reheat the biscuits place them in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel. Check them in 10 second intervals until warm through. 

Review

These semi homemade cheddar bay biscuits are so good and so easy to make using the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix. Hands down the best hack using the buttermilk and extra cheese, it just adds so much extra flavor. 

Sometimes the restaurant biscuits can be hit or miss, over the years, I’ve had a few times they were a bit dry and over cooked. 

Making them at home and the ability to add extra flavors and ingredients to your preference is a win. Plus the convenience of enjoy these delicious biscuits without having to go to the restaurant.
