Get Ready for a Biscuit Bonanza!
If you’re a fan of Red Lobster’s famous biscuits, you’re in luck! Today, I’m sharing a biscuit recipe that’s so good, it’ll make you wonder how you ever lived without it. I mean, who needs takeout when you can make these garlic cheddar biscuits at home? Am I right, fellow foodies?
The Ultimate Garlic Cheddar Biscuit Recipe
This biscuit recipe rocks because it’s ridiculously easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. I’ve tried countless recipes, but this one takes the cake (or should I say, biscuit?). You’ll be hooked from the first bite, and trust me, you’ll be making these babies on repeat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, but oh-so-pretty)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, because we don’t want any sticky situations.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. It’s time to get your whisk on!
3. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender (or your fingers, like I do) to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, because everything’s better with cheese, am I right?
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and minced garlic. Yes, it’s a lot of garlic, but trust me, it’s necessary.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Don’t overmix, or you’ll end up with tough biscuits.
7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
8. Roll the dough out to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thickness and use a biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass, like I do) to cut out the biscuits.
9. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
