Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Just like the original Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits only better.

Mr. J's birthday was a few weeks ago. I am bit behind with writing about that celebration but I wanted to share these with you today.  See one of the things Mr. J talked about doing for his birthday was going to Red Lobster. No this is not his favorite restaurant but they happened to be having their all you can eat shrimp feast.  Mr. J loves shrimp and he loves all you can eat.

Well the weekend finally rolled around and we were all ready to go, like literally walking out the door, and he decided he didn't want to go. Now I could have cared less about going except for the fact that from the first time he mentioned it I thought of their famous cheddar biscuits. I could almost taste them. I really, really wanted those biscuits.  

Well a few days past and I still couldn't get over the thought of these biscuits so I did some googling.  There is lots of cheddar biscuit recipes out there.  I picked one and I am sure glad I did. These were so easy to make and tasted fantastic.  They are so cheesy and decadent. I could have just had a few of these for lunch. I know I will be making these again.  Never will I NEED to go to Red Lobster just to get some biscuits.

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Topping:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat; set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and cayenne pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in cheese.

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
