Hey guys, welcome back! Today, I'm going to show you how to make these melt-in-your-mouth Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits at home. Without further ado, let's jump right into the recipe!

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder (divided)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Dry Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Give it a quick mix to ensure all the dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 2: Incorporate Butter
Add Cold Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a fork or your hands (I prefer using a clean glove for this step), work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Buttermilk
Fold in Cheese: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and fold it in until evenly distributed.

Add Buttermilk: Pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk (or milk) and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Shape and Bake Biscuits
Prepare Baking Sheet: Lightly flour a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
Shape Biscuits: Use a small bowl or an ice cream scoop to portion out the dough, aiming for about 12 regular-sized biscuits. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit as they will expand.

Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 5: Prepare Garlic Butter
Melt Butter: While the biscuits are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl.

Add Garlic and Parsley: Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley into the melted butter.

Step 6: Finish Biscuits
Brush with Garlic Butter: Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.

Serve Warm: Serve the biscuits warm for the best taste experience. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness!

Conclusion
These homemade Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are fluffy, buttery, and packed with cheesy goodness. Perfect for any meal or as a delightful snack, you'll never go back to the restaurant version once you've tried these. Fresh out of the oven, they're irresistible!
