Red Lobster cheesy biscuits! Yes, you know the ones. You order a couple baskets during dinner, then you shamefully ask them to bag you up a couple more for the road. What do they put in those delicious biscuits? What’s the secret? A trend these days is to create “clones” or come the closest possible to a restaurants secret recipe as you can. I did some experimenting to try to reproduce the Red Lobster cheddar biscuits recipe with just the ingredients I had in my pantry. This final clone recipe is pretty close. I hope you enjoy these copycat Red Lobster cheddar biscuits as much as I do!
My Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits Experiments:
I found you can make the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits using either Hungry Jack pancake mix or Bisquik, as you prefer. The pancake mix adds offers a touch more sweetness to the finished biscuits.
I also tried using Pepper Jack or Sharp Cheddar. I thought the Pepper Jack would give the biscuits an extra kick but it wasn’t quite as flavorful as I expected. The sharp cheddar is better.
You can use Old Bay seasoning or spices and garlic powder. Either way, the spices add tons of flavor so don’t skip this.
It’s definitely not a perfect match for the Red Lobster biscuits but it is pretty close and will do in a pinch!
