You don't need to buy a mix.
Better-Than-Red-Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded cheese (use your discretion as to the type here, something semi-firm)
- 1 cup buttermilk OR 1 cup whole milk mixed with one tablespoon of vinegar and left to sit for ten minutes
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 450F. Prepare a greased and lightly floured baking sheet.
- Mix all the dry ingredients and the shredded cheese together.
- Add the milk and 1/2 cup of butter. Mix it into a dough, then knead it by hand until it is a good consistency. Do not over-knead it. Also work quickly because the baking powder is reacting at this point.
- Portion out evenly-sized globs of dough and spread them out on the sheet, not touching. Remember they will expand some.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until nicely golden brown.
- Remove from oven, baste with remaining butter, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Optionally dust them with a little more Old Bay before sprinkling on the parsley.
This should make about a dozen little cheesy biscuits.
