Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

Alright, so here is my first blog about food!  I’m sure many more will come!

I found this recipe for Garlic Cheese Biscuits just like the ones Red Lobster make.  My husband LOVES these biscuits.   He makes you bring a big purse so that you can take the extras home.  Not I haven’t had to do that because we don’t get to Red Lobster much (but I have had a loaf of bread or two in my purse from East Side Mario’s before), but his sister told me about how he would do this when they were younger, and I definitely believe it!  So when she found this recipe on Pinterest, she passed it along and I haven’t heard anything but “when will you make my Red Lobster biscuits?” since.  Finally I decided to make them.  We ate 8 in one sitting!  We had them gone in two days so I made another batch.  I have found that the hardest part to this recipe is waiting for them to bake!  They are so super easy, I don’t know why I waited so long to make them!  So if you like biscuits, you like cheese and you like garlic, go out and make them!

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
(from http://gimmesomeoven.com/garlic-cheddar-biscuits-a-la-red-lobster/)

Ingredients:

2 cups buttermilk biscuit mix (such as Bisquick or Jiffy)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together biscuit mix, cheese and garlic powder. Add in milk, and stir until well mixed. (Heads up – the dough will get very sticky!)

With a spoon or with your fingers, shape the dough into biscuit-sized clumps, and drop onto the baking sheet. (Note that the dough will pretty much hold its shape when baked, so feel free to pat down random peaks in the dough if you’d like them to look more uniform!)

Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until biscuits begin to brown slightly around the edges.

While the biscuits bake, prepare the warm butter mixture by mixing together the melted butter, oregano and garlic salt in a small bowl. As soon as the biscuits are removed from the oven, brush the biscuits (while they are still on the baking sheet) with the mixture until they are well-coated.

Serve warm.

(*This recipe usually makes about 15 biscuits for me.*)
