30 Minute Homemade Red Lobster Biscuits
Golden, craggy, and packed with sharp cheddar, these drop biscuits come together in minutes, no rolling or cutting required. A quick mix, a hot oven, and a buttery garlic finish create biscuits with crisp edges and a fluffy, tender center. Inspired by the classic Red Lobster restaurant favorite, you can bring that same rich, cheesy flavor home.
