Emily's Red Lobster Biscuits
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup shredded)
  • 2 T chopped parsley
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled for a few minutes
  • For the Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley (or ¼ teaspoon dried)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, parsley and cayenne. Stir in the cheddar cheese; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk and melted butter until the butter forms small clumps.
  4. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix gently with a rubber spatula just until a dough forms and no dry ingredients remain. Use a greased ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop out portions of dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little more than an inch between biscuits.
  5. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 12 minutes. While the biscuits are in the oven, stir together the 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder and parsley. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush with the topping mixture. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top back at room temperature for up to 3 days.
