I waitressed at Red Lobster for a short time, and while they do use ice water in their mix, I've always enjoyed it much more using regular 2% milk in the same quantity. The biscuits come out a little fluffier and taste just like the real thing.

I picked this recipe because it DOESN'T use milk. For one thing I didn't have milk, usually don't, and didn't want to make a special trip. These were great biscuits! A bit heavier than RL's but I could have overmixed them -don't blame the recipe cuz it might be the cook! RL actually uses imitation butter flavored liquid shortening in place of butter in 95% of their cooking and it DOES change the flavor of the topping. I also subbed mrs. dash for the Italian seasoning cuz that's what I had. These also were great with Emril's BAM spice too. Great Recipe!!

Years ago, I had found a similar recipe in a magazine and when I lost that clipping I nearly cried. I tried these and they came out equally terrific. I did use cold whole milk instead of water to make fluffy, and also was heavy handed on the Italian seasoning (and added fresh finely chopped Basil because I love it). I had the family over and served with a Lobster/Crab Garlic pasta and my 86 year old grandmother said (and I quote), "These biscuits be just like the ones at the red lobsters!" Thanks!
