Red Lobster Garlic Cheese Biscuits

Jenny White's Note:

This is my version of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I think they have more flavor than the restaurant's. I won a recipe contest in our local newspaper with these biscuits. Everyone who tries them ALWAYS ask for the recipe.

• Total Time: 26 mins
• Prep Time: 12 mins
• Cook Time: 14 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 20

• 2 cups self-rising flour

• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• melted butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450*.
2. Mix garlic salt, dry mustard and cayenne into flour. (I like to use a wire whisk).
3. Cut in Crisco or butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
4. Fold in cheese.
5. Add milk and mix gently.
6. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto buttered cookie sheet. (I like to use a mini ice cream scoop).
7. Brush tops with melted butter.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
9. *Note~ I recently rolled and cut these biscuits out because I wanted a 'pretty' result for a party, they did not rise well and turned out to be hard flat discs.

I made these as gluten-free, and they were perfect!!

Did not have self rising flour so I added salt, baking powder, and baking soda to make it. Used food processor to cut in crisco. When done baking, I brushed with melted butter that had a little garlic poweder in it. Very good!
