These Red Lobster-style biscuits are soft, flaky, and loaded with cheesy garlic flavor, just like the classic restaurant favorite. Perfectly golden and brushed with a savory garlic butter topping, they make a delicious side for any meal or a comforting snack on their own.

Ingredients

Biscuit Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Melt Butter for Dough: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of unsalted butter by microwaving for about 30 seconds until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until evenly mixed.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Add the melted butter and 1 cup whole milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until the flour is just moistened—take care not to overmix as this can make the biscuits tough.
  5. Add Cheese: Fold in 8 ounces of shredded mild cheddar cheese with a spoon, distributing the cheese evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Using a spoon, drop heaping portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart for even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown on top.
  8. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: While the biscuits bake, melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of unsalted butter in a small bowl by microwaving for about 30 seconds.
  9. Add Seasoning to Butter: Stir 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley into the melted butter. Use a pastry brush to mix thoroughly.
  10. Brush Biscuits: When the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture for a delicious, savory finish.
  11. Serve: Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy their flaky, buttery, cheesy goodness!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the biscuit dough; overmixing can develop gluten and make the biscuits tough.
  • For a sharper flavor, try using sharp cheddar cheese instead of mild.
  • These biscuits are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated in the oven to regain their softness.
  • Use parchment paper to ensure biscuits do not stick to the baking sheet.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
