Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits

Who doesn't love Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits? They're a little cheddar, a little garlic, a little salt, and perfectly light and fluffy. If you haven't tried them, you're really missing out. I'd honestly just go there for the biscuits and be perfectly content!

I went to a housewarming party this past weekend and the hosts were serving pasta, but asked us to bring a side dish. I immediately thought of these tasty little biscuits since I had been craving them for a while. They made the house smell fantastic!! I was drooling a little while they were baking, and then adding the garlic butter to the top really makes them a showstopper. My friend even said, and these were her exact words:

"These are even better than those biscuits at Red Lobster!"

My heart stopped. Oh, why thank you!! 

And actually, I agree! Give 'em a try yourself and let me know what you think!

Ingredients
Makes approximately 12 biscuits

• 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
• 4 tbsp. cold butter
• 3/4 cup cold whole milk
• 1 heaping cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder

        For the top:

• 2 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• Pinch of Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Combine Bisquick with cold butter in medium bowl using a pastry cutter or large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should still be small chunks of butter in the mixture. Add milk, cheddar cheese, and 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. Mix with hand until combined, but do not over mix.

Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of the dough onto the ungreased baking sheet using an ice cream scoop.

Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a bowl in the microwave.  Add dried parsley, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Use a brush to spread the garlic butter over top of the biscuits. Use up all of the butter.
