Hot, buttery, and garlicky, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are better at home! Studded with melty Cheddar, and packed with flavor, you'll find this copycat recipe identical to the restaurant's coveted biscuits!
Preheat oven to 400° and have ready two sheet pans lined with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Cut 8 tablespoons of cold butter into tiny cubes and set aside until ready to use.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Using a pastry blender, cut the cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse, small peas.
Stir in the cheddar and parsley. Then, using a sturdy spoon, stir in the buttermilk just until dough comes together. Do not over mix.
Drop large, heaping spoonfuls of dough (about 2-3 tablespoons worth -- we used an ice cream scoop) onto the sheet pans, spacing each 2 inches apart, and bake for about 13 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown
Once the biscuits have finished baking, brush them with the melted butter, serve, and enjoy.
