What a great copycat! And also as being new to cooking, the trick of putting COLD butter in biscuits is a great little secret I'm glad to have! I've begun doing this in any biscuits I make and even cookies! It really does make anything more rich, fluffy and flavorful! Thank you very much for your post!

For a Feast of the Seven Fishes seafood potluck I thought it would be awfully clever of me to make this copycat version of Red Lobster's signature biscuits. The recipe is quite easy with minimal ingredients and the results were very tasty. Admittedly I haven't had real Red Lobster CB biscuits in quite awhile, but these seemed to hit the mark. A friend arguably more well-versed in the Cheddar Bay biscuit genre agreed. I needed to add just a touch more milk than what the recipe specifies but other than that I followed it to the letter.

Awesome recipe! These are delicious. I usually have terrible luck with biscuits, but these are fool-proof. This recipe is a keeper for me. Thanks Heather'sKitchen for a great recipe. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y! ~~2011~~ tag game.
