Okay, so this isn't my typical blog entry. I've had lots of requests for this recipe(after posting food photos on Facebook). So now I'll post in a centralized location!
Who doesn't love Red Lobster's biscuits? And what better way than making them at home so you can eat as MANY as you want? Besides, you probably have MOST of the ingredients at home! It's quick and easy enough for your kids to help. I've made this numerous times...so I've included my tips in the parentheses.
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
¾ cup cold whole milk
4 tablespoons cold butter
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (I usually put a bit more! Garlic powder isn't that strong)
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese (Put about a cup and a half!)
Garnish ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.
3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop. (For CRISPY golden bottoms, brush the pan with butter!)
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. (I always have to bake my biscuits longer! After the initial 15-17 minutes, take the biscuits out, rip one in half to see if it's cooked. Keep baking for 3-5 minute intervals)
5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. (I usually take the biscuits out 5 minutes before they are ready and then brush the buttery mixture on top--they are crispier that way. Broil for 1-2 minutes if you don't have the time) Makes one dozen biscuits.
Enjoy! I am getting hungry just writing about the recipe!
