Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits
These Red Lobster Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits are super easy and take only 30 minutes to make! A million times better than the original cheddar bay biscuits.
Servings 12 biscuits
Ingredients
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 1/4 cups (6 ounces / 170 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup (178 ml) buttermilk, very cold**
For the butter:
- 3 tablespoons (43 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter forms pea-sized crumbs. Mix in the cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Drop the dough by scant 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes.
- While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.

Notes
*If using unbleached King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, reduce the amount of flour by 2 tablespoons. This recipe was written with Gold Medal Bleached All-Purpose Flour, which can be more absorbent.
**Using real buttermilk is best for this recipe. The best direct substitute is plain Kefir. If you need to, make a DIY substitute with 1 scant cup whole milk + 2 teaspoons distilled vinegar or lemon juice.
