Cheddar Bay Biscuits
 
Instructions to make cheesy biscuits just like the ones at Red Lobster.
Ingredients
For the biscuits:
  • 2½ cups (310g) flour, sifted
  • 1⅓ tablespoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Scant ½ cup (95g) cold butter, cut into chunks
  • 1 heaping cup (135g) grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (250ml) cold milk
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
For the glaze:
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or parsley flakes
  • pinch salt
Method
Prepare the biscuits:
  1. Preheat your over to 400°F. Mix the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Use a whisk to blend thoroughly. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives or a fork until thoroughly incorporated. There should be small chunks of butter in there about the size of peas. Add the cheese, milk, and garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined. Using an ice cream scoop place the biscuit dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits turn brown.
Prepare the glaze:
  1. Combine all the ingredients and spread the butter over the top of the biscuits when they come out of the oven. Use up all the butter.
