20-Minute Cheddar Biscuits are the perfect side dish. You can’t beat this copycat red lobster biscuit recipe that’s ready in about 20 minutes.
I love easy dinners, especially this time of year. There is just too much to do & then adding things like shoveling the driveway (which always seems to take longer than expected) really can have me in a time crunch.
I’m always looking for quick meal ideas that also help us stay warm in the winter. Comforting & yet filling for my 3 adult-sized kids, I love making cozy soup & these awesome 20-Minute Cheddar Biscuits.
I love easy dinner sides. My hubs is all about making sure to have 3 items on the plate & so when it comes to sides, I keep it simple.
That being said, he is all about making sure there are veggies on the side of the main. I lean towards bread & pasta. What can I say, I love the carbs, as bad as they are for me.
So I make rolls or whatever, but the other night the family was going on & on about the Cheddar Bay Biscuits at that seafood chain restaurant.
I’m not a super huge fan of seafood or that particular restaurant, but I do love a roll with some cheese on there, so I decided to whip some up.

I must say, they really are quite delicious. I mean, what could be bad about a buttery biscuit topped with cheese?
The best part about these is how quickly they come together. I mean, mixing & baking time is only 20 minutes.
I can handle 20 minutes & they are perfect with just about any meal. So so so good!
Here are some commonly asked questions
Please see the following frequently asked questions we get for these biscuits. This will help assure that they turn out perfect each & every time you make these.
What if I don’t have buttermilk?
No problem. If you happen to not have buttermilk, you can place 1 tbsp white vinegar in your measuring cup. Then fill the rest up to the 1-cup mark with regular milk. Then let it sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before mixing into the batter.
Does the sugar make these sweet?
Nope, not at all. It just helps things rise properly when mixed with the other ingredients.
What is the best way to store leftover cheddar biscuits?
I must say, we never have leftovers of these. However, if you happen to have a few extra laying around, place the leftover biscuits in a zip-top bag or airtight container. This recipe should keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Can I omit the chili powder?
You bet, that works just fine. It doesn’t make these zesty in any way, it just gives a depth of flavor, so I would encourage you to give it a try before leaving it out.
How many can this serve?
I make about 10 biscuits with this dough. So for my family of 5 – it’s good for about 1 dinner.

Great recipe. I might try cutting back on the granulated garlic powder in the recipe to see how it tastes as the garlic flavour is quite strong even though I love garlic. My kids found it a bit much. I did substitute 2 tsp of honey instead of the sugar and it turned out good. I the ingredient list you had chili powder but in the directions you said cayenne. I used almost 1/4 tsp. Chili powder but then added a couple light shakes of cayenne and it turned out fine. Not to spicy.

Try replacing the buttermilk with room temperature sprite. Add some Oldbay to the biscuit dough and the butter topping when it comes out of the oven. That’s what I was told they do at Red Lobster. They taste just like the restaurant in fact my family thinks they taste better.
Roxanna says
I only had about 1/4 cup butter left, but still needed a large serving, so I couldn’t half the recipe. In my haste, I added a 1/4 cup of olive oil to my melted butter. Instead of buttermilk, I added 1 tbsp of white vinegar to my 1 cup of milk (old trick), and these turned out to be the softest, fluffiest, most delicious biscuits I’ve ever made!
I love that with this recipe my rubber spatula did all the work for me; I hate getting sticky dough between my fingers and under my nails. This is such a no-fuss, almost hands-off recipe and I’m here for it.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. It’s definitely a keeper!
