Hello! I’m Amelia, welcome to Ritzy Recipes. My love for cooking started from a very personal journey when my son was little and needed extra care with his nutrition.

It is soulful, simple, and full of heart.

Also, you get to control the quality of the cheese, which makes a world of difference. Grab a glass of sweet tea and let’s get to work!

Then, let me tell you the secret to that legendary flavor. It isn’t magic; it is just real food handled with a little bit of love. These copycat Red Lobster biscuits come out of the oven with those signature craggy tops and a tender, moist crumb. You’ll feel like you’ve brought the coast right to your dining room table. Don’t worry about perfection here—my kitchen is about real life, and this Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat is meant to look rustic and beautiful.

What You Need for Garlic Cheese Bliss

Before we throw down in the kitchen, we need to gather our supplies. For these buttermilk cheddar biscuits, temperature is everything. You want your butter and your buttermilk as cold as a winter morning. This creates those tiny steam pockets that make the Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat flaky instead of heavy.

• All-Purpose Flour: The sturdy base for our dough.
• Leavening Agents: Baking powder and baking soda for that beautiful lift.
• Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Freshly grated is best! Pre-shredded cheese has a waxy coating that keeps it from melting smoothly.
• Cold Salted Butter: This is the soul of the biscuit.
• Buttermilk: It adds a subtle tang and keeps things moist.
• Garlic Powder & Dried Parsley: For that unmistakable aroma.

If you are looking for more cozy sides, try my grandma cornbread dressing or some southern fried chicken to go alongside these. Also, if you love a good crunch, check out these bacon crackers recipe for your next gathering.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Restaurant Style Garlic Biscuits

Step 1: Prep the Dry Base

First, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a dash of garlic powder in a large bowl. Next, take your cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or two forks. You are looking for pea-sized crumbs. Also, don’t overwork it! You want bits of butter visible in your Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat dough.

Step 2: The Cheesy Fold

Now, toss in that sharp cheddar cheese. Give it a quick stir so every bit of cheese is coated in flour. Then, pour in your cold buttermilk. Use a large spoon to gently fold everything together just until a shaggy dough forms. For more easy dinners, you might enjoy my marry me chicken recipe or this stovetop creamy ground beef pasta.

Step 3: The Drop and Bake

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, use a large scoop to drop mounds of dough onto the tray. These easy cheddar drop biscuits don’t need to be perfect circles. Actually, those rough edges are what turn crispy and golden in the oven! Bake your Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat at 425°F for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 4: The Golden Finish

While they bake, melt some butter and stir in more garlic powder and dried parsley. As soon as those biscuits come out, brush that liquid gold over the tops. This is where the magic happens. The heat from the biscuits pulls that garlic flavor deep into the crust.
