Love those cheddar bay biscuits at Red Lobster? You can easily make them at home yourself by following this recipe! I made these beauties on a Christmas Day and they really complimented my dinner! They taste just as cheesy, buttery and yummy as the biscuits you get the restaurant. As a southern girl, biscuits are in my DNA! My mom would make buttermilk biscuits, cheese biscuits and even sweet potato biscuits on Saturday mornings! She was always experimenting with her biscuits but nothing beats her classic buttermilk biscuits with some molasses for sopping! Since these are more of a savory biscuit, they would be perfect to compliment a seafood dinner or pasta dinner! If you don’t feel like the long wait at Red Lobster, give this recipe a try! Make sure you spill the tea on my blog or on my social media pages on how they came out! Here’s how to make them!
