We didn’t grew up eating biscuits very often, so they are not something I make from scratch. When my hubby wants biscuits and gravy, he is happy when I pop open a can of store-brand biscuits – the homemade gravy more than makes up for it!
I stumbled across a copycat recipe for the Cheddar Bay Biscuits that Red Lobster serves. I doctored up the recipe a bit, as I always do, and they were great – and so very easy. I’ve since made them in a variety of ways, substituting the cheese and parsley with different types of cheeses and spices. I’ve made them with parmesan and oregano for an Italian flair! They have a nice kick when made with hot pepper jack cheese and cilantro! The recipe calls for Bisquick, but I have had good luck with both Krusteaz and Aunt Jemima buttermilk pancake mixes.
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Preheat the oven to 450. Mix together biscuit mix, milk and cheese until a soft dough forms; beat vigorously for about 30 seconds. Dough will be thick. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.
Mix melted butter, garlic and parsley together. Brush 1/2 of the butter mixture onto the biscuit mounds.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Immediately brush remaining 1/2 of butter mixture over the biscuits. Serve hot. Makes about 12, depending on size of spoonfuls you use!
Mangia bene!
