Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Description
This biscuit recipe recreates the signature cheddar bay biscuits known for their soft interior and flavorful crust. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and dried parsley. Melted butter and buttermilk are mixed together and then combined gently with the dry mix, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. The dough is portioned as heaping spoonfuls or ¼ cup scoops and spaced on parchment-lined sheets.
Before baking at a high temperature of 450°F, the biscuits are brushed with buttermilk and sprinkled with paprika and parsley for color and flavor. Baking for 10 to 12 minutes gives a golden crust surrounding a tender, cheesy crumb. The smokiness from paprika and mild cayenne spice provide a balanced warmth without overwhelming the cheese.
These biscuits are suitable as a side for seafood or comfort meals, replicating the well-known restaurant version with simple pantry ingredients and straightforward preparation.
