Golden, buttery, and packed with cheesy goodness, these homemade Cheddar Bay Biscuits are the perfect Red Lobster copycat! Made with cheddar cheese, garlic butter, and buttermilk, they’re light, fluffy, and melt in your mouth. Serve them warm as a side dish or snack!

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted​

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder​

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep:

    • Preheat oven to 425ºF (220°C) and set the rack in the middle position.​

    • Line a baking sheet (13×18-inch) with parchment paper.​

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.​

  • Cut in Butter:

    • Add cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse sand with pea-sized clumps.​

  • Add Cheese & Buttermilk:

    • Stir in cheddar cheese and buttermilk until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. If too dry, add 1–2 tbsp more buttermilk. Do not overmix.​

  • Scoop & Bake:

    • Scoop 8 mounds (about 2½ inches in diameter) onto the baking sheet.​

    • Bake for 17–20 minutes until lightly golden.​

 

  • Prepare Garlic Butter & Brush:

    • Whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.​

    • Brush over warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before using.
