I have the fondest memories of Red Lobster. It was always our go-to place for big familial celebrations, particularly for our birthdays. And since we never went out for dinner, it was always a huge deal to eat out. It was as if we had won the lottery. But other than the lobster, there was something else on the menu that was just as lottery-worthy. It was, of course, the cheddar bay biscuits.

I don’t know about you guys but I absolutely love discovering copycat recipes. From this Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana to this PF Chang’s Mongolian Beef, I am having a blast recreating some of my childhood favorites. And these cheddar bay biscuits are no exception. The best part about it is that it only takes 30 min to make start to finish.

You’ll have the flakiest, most fluffy biscuit you could possibly dream of (even better than the restaurant version), with a hint of spiciness from the cayenne pepper. And with that melted butter brushed right on, it is absolute perfection. Just be sure to grab these hot from the oven. There’s nothing quite like it.
