What I Baked on Sunday

or Monday....

Copycat Red Lobster Biscuits 

We started a tradition of Monday night dinners during the Bachelorette. Even though the season has ended, I'm hopeful that our dinners will continue. Last night I pulled out a frozen million dollar spaghetti and made copycat Red Lobster Biscuits at the request of some of the guys. We had a delicious spread complete with salad, another pasta dish, sauteed zucchini, and chocolate chip cookies. I was a little hesitant to make these but they were very easy and turned out well - there was only one left!

Ingredients 
        (Recipe from Damn Delicious)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

For the topping:
Whisk 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter with 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 
• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. 
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Pour mixture into the dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula until moist. Fold in the cheese. 
• Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. 
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 
• Remove from the oven and brush the tops of each biscuit with the butter mixture.
• Serve immediately.
