When I go to Red Lobster I’m mostly going for the garlic cheddar biscuits. I’m sure I’m not alone. Years ago I found a copycat recipe using Bisquick and I’ve been using it ever since. Then there’s the box mix (which is almost as good) that you can actually buy in stores now, my Aunt brings them to every get together. Now that we cut out processed food I knew I needed to figure out how to make these completely from scratch.
So I made garlic cheddar biscuits from scratch, I used white wheat flour and freshly grated cheese (we use this food processor for all of our shredding) and it was delicious. This is a perfect way to get your picky eaters to eat whole wheat, the garlic and cheese do a great job at covering up the wheat taste.
I love how simple these garlic cheddar biscuits are to make, just mix the ingredients and drop them on a cookie sheet. When they’re done brush them with melted garlic butter and you have the tastiest, most savory biscuits that you’ll ever make from scratch.
I will warn you that it’s impossible to avoid taking second and third helpings of these biscuits. If you have a big family, do yourself a favor and double the recipe. If you somehow manage to have leftovers they’re just as good reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds.
To give these some authenticity and the real Red Lobster feel I served these alongside garlic parmesan crusted shrimp scampi. It was the perfect date night dinner! I halved this biscuit recipe, but wish I didn’t we could have eaten a whole batch between us.
To make this a real food recipe I used white whole wheat flour and made baking powder (2 parts cream of tartar, 1 part baking soda.)

I had all the ingredients to make these Garlic Cheddar Biscuits yesterday and I made them with my Homemade Chicken Noodle soup, and my whole family loved them. Thanks for this recipe. These are such flavorful biscuits.
Thank you! I’m glad you and your family enjoyed these!
trying with sprouted spelt flour. they’re a bit on the cookie side in their shape. but the batter was yum and they smell great in the oven. thanks for the recipe.
I always have trouble getting sprouted flour to rise. You could try mixing the sprouted flour with wheat flour for this recipe to help it rise.
Do you have any suggestions on how to tweak the recipe for high altitude? I wonder if I need to add more flour. They tasted amazing but resembled cookies more than biscuits.
Mine also looked like big cookies, but I thought it was because I used Bread Flour instead of all purpose flour. They tasted great but did not resemble biscuits.
I am not much of a cook but these look and sound delicious. May try for the kids, they would really like them if they turn out like yours
These were delicious! I only had Bread Flour so don’t know if that made a difference, but batter was quite thin & they turned out more like big cookies. Will try again with all purpose flour. The taste was wonderful.
My oldest son made these tonight to go along with soup and salad and they were fantastic! Thanks for sharing a recipe that doesn’t have bisquick in it.
