Description
My delicious, homemade garlic cheese biscuits are even better than Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits and easy to make with self-rising flour!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 stick butter, frozen & grated (I used unsalted)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded plus more for the tops
- 3/4 cup milk (whole or buttermilk, recommended)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1 tbsp oil (for seasoning cast iron skillet)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- First, place a large mixing bowl, box grater, and butter in the freezer for 15-30 minutes prior to making biscuits.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven to preheat.
- Place 2 cups of self rising flour in a large, chilled mixing bowl. Add garlic powder and old bay seasoning and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Next, use a box grater and grate your frozen butter. You can also use a pastry cutter if you dont have a box grater.
- Add your butter into your flour mixture and stir until combined. Next stir in your shredded cheddar cheese.
- Lastly, pour in all but a little bit of your milk and stir until JUST combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. See note below*
- Carefully remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and add 1 tbsp oil to evenly coat the pan on the bottom and sides.
- Use a large cookie scoop and scoop out 6 large biscuits into your oiled cast iron skillet. Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with more shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes and 5 minutes before biscuits are finished, melt 2 tbsp butter and combine with garlic powder and parsley.
- After removing the biscuits from the oven, use a pastry brush and immediately brush the tops with the garlic, butter, and parsley mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
