Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

My niece, Holli, found this recipe on Pinterest and made them the other night. They were a huge hit so I had to make them too.  This is her lovely pic (such a pretty plate, Holli)--a plateful of yummy goodness without having to get dressed up and go to Red Lobster to get them.  Is it just me and Holli or is the best thing about Red Lobster these biscuits?  I mean, no offense to Red Lobster, but these cheddar biscuits are my favorite part of going there.

Thanks, Holli!

I make these too but I do what my son recommended when he managed several Red Lobster restaurants. Add a splash of white wine to the topping mixture. Divine!

That's TOTALLY my favourite part of Red Lobster! Here in northern British Columbia (actually ALL of BC!) we don't have Red Lobster - probably due to the fact that we have all sorts of other seafood restaurants - but the Cheddar Biscuits are seriously the ONLY think I miss about that place! Thanks for sharing!

Barb--So jealous of all the great seafood you get! We're stuck literally in the middle of the country but thanks to technology we do get access to some good seafood now, so that's a great plus. I confess that we only go to Red Lobster about once a year, it's sort of guilty pleasure of fried...everything...and those dang addictive biscuits. Talk about "you can't eat just one"...oh shoot, now I really want some!
