Review: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Made these last night. They did need a little more than the half cup of water to hold them together (either that or I'm just not experienced enough to get the dough to really gel) I did add about a half teaspoon of garlic powder to the batter - you can never have too much garlic ;)
They puffed up rather nicely, and looked very similar to the ones at Red Lobster. The butter wash was crucial to getting the taste to match the taste of the real ones. In fact, I think the next time I'll make these, I'll do two washes - one before baking, and one afterwards.
They were very fluffy on the inside, and were quite tasty. The outside was a little crustier than the ones at Red Lobster, but it didn't bother either of us too much. The hubby even had to ask if I made them myself (I'm not sure if that works out to be a compliment or not).
So all in all, not 100% like those at Red Lobster, but a darn good clone nonetheless.
EDIT:
There were a few left over, so we had them with dinner last night. I popped them into the microwave for about 20 seconds to warm them up. YUM. I think they tasted even better than they did straight out of the oven. The crust became a nice soft outside, and the garlic-y smell was pungent. They tasted even more like the ones at Red Lobster on the second night. Go figure. This recipe is a keeper!
