This recipe is really good and easy but I DO NOT suggest garlic powder. Use 1/2 tsp garlic salt instead of the the powder. SO much more flavor. If u want to amp up the garlic flavor add a dash of the garlic salt to the dough before baking. I promise it won't b over powering. It will just be more delish'! Enjoy!!! :o)

The only kind of garlic salt worth it's salt ;-), is the California style or the parsley mixture. And even then, you have to use it as salt (as a seasoning) rather than a replacement for garlic powder. Garlic powder is pure garlic that has been dehydrated, and garlic salt is mostly just salt.

I have a friend that works at red lobster and they told me that they bake the biscuits on parchment paper. That's supposed to be the secret to how they are so tasty!

I tried the Cheddar biscuits on parchment paper it didn't work too well. But it could be the type of parchment paper

This recipe will NOT give you the product you get at Red Lobster! Needs more milk and more cheese--that will make a softer biscuit. And, stick to garlic powder--garlic salt is not good for you (salt).

After reading gobs of recipes and reviews on MANY sites I concocted these. Before doing anything, add 1 or 2 tbsp. of onion flakes into 2/3 c. of milk. By the time the milk is needed the onion flakes will have softened. I used the 2 c. of Bisquick, 2 c. sharp cheddar, 1 whole egg and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder to the mix. This seemed too stiff so I added the milk mixture. I think the egg held all together better than if I hadn't used it. I brushed the tops 2 ways, one batch I basted when they came out of the oven, the next batch I did that but did it once while still baking. You can add anything to your liking to the basting butter, I happen to have parsley in my garden so I added some of that, garlic powder and salt, I didn't have garlic salt or I'd have used that instead of plain salt. For the 2nd batch I added Parmesan cheese to the butter mix but made sure it didn't burn so I watched it carefully when I returned them back to the oven for a few minutes.
Experiment and add whatever you like, you can't ruin it. I baked mine at 400°F till they looked like they were done, anywhere from 8-10 minutes. Don't stress, you'll get it!
