If you are a fan of Red Lobster biscuits, then you will love these. I'm not sure I've ever been to Red Lobster before, so I had no idea what all the hullabaloo was about when people would rave about the biscuits. It just so happens that on Black Friday instead of going shopping Doug and I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and afterwards had dinner at said restaurant. Yummm! I love a good fish dish and the ones we had were, but the biscuits were also superb. I remembered that I had seen a copycat recipe for the biscuits and decided to make them at home. They were good, but not great so of course I had to play around. These biscuits were born and one I will repeat.
2 1/2 cup flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup shortening
2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
In bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter and the shortening with pastry blender or fork. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until moistened. Do not over stir or this will make for hard biscuits. Gently fold in the cheese. Drop onto greased baking sheet and cook at 450*F for 12-15 min. (I used my large cookie scoop to shape biscuits) When fresh out of the oven, mix the melted butter with the remaining garlic powder and thyme and brush tops of biscuits. Enjoy!
