What’s the best part about eating at Red Lobster?  If you ask me, it’s that basket of wonderful biscuits they set on the table.   I swear, sometimes I could just be happy with nothing but a glass of ice water and the basket of biscuits, but that would make me a really annoying customer.  They would probably kick me right out of the place.

So when I spotted the recipe for “Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits” in the Top Secret Restaurant Recipes #2 book (pictured here), I got all excited and knew I had to give it a try. The recipe from the book makes a larger batch than what I wanted, so I played around with the recipe a little bit and now have my own scaled down version.  Nothing can match the real thing, but these come pretty close.

COPYCAT RED LOBSTER BISCUITS
1 cup Bisquick

1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup cold milk
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Topping:

1/4 tsp parsley flakes

1.  In medium mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick and the cold butter, cutting in the butter with a pastry blender.

2.  Add the shredded cheese, garlic powder, and milk, and mix together well.

3.  Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.

4.  Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
