These Cheddar Biscuits are a Red Lobster copycat recipe that's so easy to make. They take only 25 minutes to make and they taste SO much better than the original!
Adjust oven rack to upper third of oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
FOR THE BISCUITS:
Add flour, baking powder, sugar, Old Bay seasoning, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Slowly add shortening and butter and pulse 5-6 times until mixture is in pea-sized pieces. Add cheese and pulse 1-3 times until mixed. Pour in milk and pulse until dough comes together, about 6-8 pulses.
Using a ¼ cup scoop, place dough on prepared baking sheet, 2-inches apart. Lightly compress biscuits with the palm of your hand. Bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
FOR THE GARLIC BUTTER:
Add butter and garlic to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
TO FINISH:
Brush biscuits with butter mixture and serve warm.
