Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe
May 5th, 2007Recipes, Baking Recipes, Recipes, Eating Light, Recipes82 Comments
Truth be told, I am a food snob.
I shun away from chain restaurants–Cheesecake Factory, nah; The Olive Garden, meh; Denny’s, are you kidding me?! So, you have it, I am a food snob.
I avoid going to franchise or chain restaurants at all cost, well, unless I am starving to death or stuck in the middle of nowhere and the only restaurant in town is Applebee’s. Somehow, the notion of an evil a huge restaurant empire scares me. I am afraid they are going to take over the world and infest the dining scenes with the likes of Planet Hollywood (are they still in business?) and Rainforest Cafe. I yearn for pure culinary originality and I champion epicurean creativity. Dining out is one of the most enjoyable and best things in the world, so a restaurant should be unique, possesses lots of character, and has its own identitity (no cookie-cutter decor and menu, please!).
However, I have to admit that there is an exception. I go to Red Lobster, occasionally. As a seafood connoisseur, you must think that I go there for seafood, but no, I go there for the sole reason of stuffing myself silly with their biscuits.
Yep, you heard it right–those fluffy-cheesy-buttery-garlicky-fresh-off-the-oven world famous Red Lobster biscuits. (Red Lobster serves almost 1.1 million of their Cheddar Bay Biscuits every day.) You have the statistics, they are spectacular…
Wait a minute, didn’t I just proclaim that I don’t do chain restaurants? I can’t lose my integrity (and reputation), but I am nuts for Red Lobster biscuits. What to do? What to do?
I made them, well, after hours of Googling for the secret recipe on the internet.
I don’t think I got the real secret recipe for Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits, but they were not bad. In fact, they were about 80% close to the original in terms of taste. That’s good for a knock-off.
Will I go back to Red Lobster again for their biscuits? Perhaps I will. *wink*

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Recently, my neighborhood Asian grocery store had a lobster sale. At $6.99/lb, it was a steal that I couldn’t pass up, so I got myself a 3-lb Boston lobster. When it comes to lobsters, there aren’t that many recipes that I know of. (Previously, I had stir-fried and baked lobster with cheese and…
Sugared Pillsbury Biscuits (Cheater Donuts)
Are they malasadas (malassadas)? Beignets? Sugar Egg Puffs? Doughuts? Not quite but they are really as good as all the above—soft, doughy, and fluffy. Once you have one, you just can’t stop. And the best thing of all, they take only 3 minutes to make, seriously. They are fried Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. Yes, those biscuits that you always bake, or…

Joyce – thanks for your sweet comment. I love pretzel too and will have to try making it sometimes. They look so pretty!!
I second that. I hate chain restaurants. I avoid them.
I havent been to Red Lobster since…. well, probably 7- 10 years ago. Ah but I do remember the biscuits. I am looking for the recipe. I think I will try these.
Yes, these cheddar bay biscuits are pretty good.
Here is my blog, it’s about finding the perfect Red Lobster biscuit recipe, so if you want to share your experiences, you are more than welcome there!
Just linked you on our blog!
Thanks for posting this recipe, and for the laugh. Since there are none in my area, I have been to Red Lobster only once since they began serving cheddar bay biscuits, and they were unforgettable. We wondered how many extra baskets we could request without being cut off. As a pretty good biscuit maker (I have baked professionally) I tried with some success to replicate them. I’ve gotten close. The laugh was when I saw the Bisquik in the recipe. Never liked using the stuff – everything comes out heavy because of the dried shortening. Call me a Bisquik snob – that I am. The secret to replicating these biscuits at home is to use all butter.
Biscuit making mama – if you don’t mind sharing your recipe, I would love to know how to make these babies to perfection. :)
LOL! I am sure they appreciate you spoiling their only decent claim to fame. ;}
This recipie looks amazing and I personally LOVE the Cheese Buns at LH. We don’t have bisquick in Oz, does anyone know what else I can use? Would pancake mix be the Australian equivilant?
I love red lobster recipes.
Bee, I have been reading your blog for a while now and somehow, I missed your post on Cheddar Bay Biscuits! I totally agree with you the sole reason why I go to Red Lobster is for the Biscuits. I’ve discovered that if you are friendly to the server and mention you love their biscuits, you can get up to four baskets. Now that I have your recipe, maybe I don’t need to spend all that money just to get biscuits. Looking forward to trying it next weekend!
Hi Shoshanna,
Four baskets? Wow, I only asked for second helping every time, I was too shy. LOL. I haven’t been to Red Lobster for a while and now I might have to go soon and asked for four!!!
You are right, I wish they will just let us order the biscuits, without the so-so seafood. ;)
OMG just like red lobster biscuits. I love them I have made three batches since Fri.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
thank goodness you don’t go to red lobster for the seafood because it’s terrible. From someone who lives in FL, frozen seafood is nasty :) But their biscuits? Yes please.
If they would only have their biscuits to go :)
I have played with a similar recipe for awhile and I have found that if you add a little bit of melted butter to the bisquick mix. It adds a nice buttery taste to them too. They taste alot more like the Red Lobster biscuits.
Oh my! I am going to try this for sure. Thanks!
Hi there, I find this recipe through googling, and I’m so glad I did! Along with discovering Biquick, these biscuits are so phenomenal, and easy to boot!
To be honest, I’ve just been making these biscuits with Bisquick and nothing else xD
I’ve moved home to KL 2 years ago after living in Dallas for 14 years. Red Lobster’s biscuits are something my husband and I miss like crazy!! Too bad we can’t find Bisquick here. May have to attempt to make them from scratch. Wish me luck!!
The secret ingredient to Cheddar BAY Biscuits is Old Bay Seasoning to both the biscuit mix (1/2 tsp) and to the butter/dried parsley mixture you put on top(1/2 tsp).
Try making it this way…trust me! =)
I’ve been on a biscuit kick lately, and these biscuits look like the perfect way to continue! I’m featuring them on Five Friday Finds this week too, so please stop by for a visit and grab a button while you’re there!
sorry – I left the wrong link! Here’s the right one – http://morselsoflife.blogspot.com/2011/08/five-friday-finds_26.html
I put a dash of Lemon Pepper in with parsley and it was just about spot on!
