Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (1 ½ cups) shredded cheddar cheese
- 240 ml (1 cup) cold whole milk
- 60 g (¼ cup) cold butter, cubed
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping:
- 60 g (¼ cup) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Calibrate oven temperature precisely to 220°C (425°F), ensuring optimal heat distribution for golden, fluffy biscuits.
- Prepare a baking surface by lining a sheet with parchment paper or applying a light, even coating of grease to prevent sticking.
- Combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, using a whisk to create a uniform dry ingredient blend.
- Introduce cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture, employing a pastry cutter or fingertips to break down the butter until the texture resembles rough, uneven crumbs.
- Gently fold shredded cheddar cheese into the crumbly mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Pour cold milk into the ingredients, stirring minimally until the components just merge, maintaining a slightly tacky consistency that promises tender biscuits.
- Using a spoon or scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking surface, creating evenly sized mounds that will transform into rustic, cheese-laden biscuits.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven, allowing the biscuits to bake until edges turn golden brown and tops develop a delicate, crisp exterior.
- Remove from oven and let rest momentarily, allowing the biscuits to settle and achieve maximum flavor and texture before serving warm.
Notes
- Ensure butter is cold and cubed for flakier, more tender biscuits that create those signature layers.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough, dense biscuits; mix just until ingredients are combined for a light texture.
- Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle extra garlic powder for an intensified flavor boost that mimics Red Lobster’s signature style.
- For gluten-free option, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and maintain the same mixing technique.
