Why We Love Copycat Red Lobster Biscuits
I don’t know what it is about those delicious buttery biscuits… Some people proudly visit “the lobster” week after week to get their seafood and Cheddar Bay Biscuit fix. Others call and order ahead, then slide in the side door with oversized sunglasses, to nab their biscuits and leave inconspicuously. Either way, you know you love them. We all love them. Everyone loves a basket of Red Lobster Biscuits. So much so, that they now make box mixes for these cheesy little guys that are sold at nearly every national grocery store. The secret recipe in a box. However… You can do better. You can make homemade from-scratch cheesy goodness biscuits in no time at all that are just like even BETTER than the original. I swear. Plus, you can make extra cheddar biscuits and freeze some for later! These are the absolute best combination of garlic bread and flaky cathead biscuits!

How to Make Red Lobster Biscuits
The secret to making our super easy savory snack is to use a food processor to prepare the dough. Simply pulse all of the biscuit ingredients together (minus the melted butter and parsley for topping), then scoop the dough onto baking sheets that are lined with parchment paper. An ice cream scoop lightly coated with nonstick spray works well for creating perfect little mounds. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Pour the dry ingredients into a food processor, then add the cold butter and pulse until the butter is chopped into small pieces. Then pour in the milk and pulse to combine. Finally, add the shredded cheddar and pulse to combine until the final dough forms. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 3 tablespoon scoop to place even portions of biscuit batter onto the prepared baking sheet, two inches apart. Bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, whisk the melted butter and parsley together in a bowl for the biscuit tops. After the Cheddar Bay Biscuits come out of the oven, lightly brush the tops with melted parsley butter. Serve warm.
