I worked for Red Lobster and you do not need to re invent the wheel!The following is their ACTUAL recipe! I was in shock when I saw the industrial size box of Bisquick and the Kraft shredded cheddar:Bisquick drop biscuits follow the recipe on the box, add a fourth of the amount of Bisquick you used in Kraft shredded sharp cheddar cheese.Example 1 cup Bisquick 1/4 cup cheese. 4 cups Bisquick 1 cup cheese etc.bake according to box directions then brush with garlic butter that has a little parsley flakes added to it as soon as they are out of the oven.

The biscuits were good and light. I doubled the recipe because of the number of people here and I have a couple that love their carbs. I was a little off in the size given I got 25 instead of 30. I did not have buttermilk so I used 1-3/4C milk and 1/4C vinegar (keep in mind I was doubling the recipe). I was so happy to use cake flour. It seems I buy it for a recipe and then I don't use it again and toss it long after it expires. I've never had cheddar biscuits, so I don't know how they are in comparison. These are nice and quick, especially since I had chicken chili in the crockpot.

The taste and texture were very good, although I only got 12 biscuits from the recipe. For the record, the biscuits are still tasty if you forget to add the cheese.

These were very tasty, but the texture just wasn't quite as light as I wanted.  I think I'll use all cake flour next time to lighten them up even more.

I don't know if I did something wrong, or what, but thought I followed the directions exactly. I made this for Thanksgiving dinner with friends and relatives (my daughter-in-law loves the Red Lobster biscuits), and they were like hockey pucks! Very hard and dry, and they didn't taste at all like the light and fluffy Red Lobster biscuits. I wished I had bought the mix instead. Maybe they would have turned out better. Anyway, no one liked them and I ended up throwing all of them away. I won't bother making again.

I made these for several family get togethers, everyone loved them.

I made a mini-mini version of these morsels as an appetizer and they almost evaporated from the tray - guests devoured them.  I used a melon scoop for the size, and that was perfect.

Wow, these were fantastic! Unfortunately, that means no leftovers!The changes I made: I didn't have cake flour, so I used 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons of plain flour; my buttermilk was 2% milk with a tablespoon of vinegar in it. And I grated the 3 tablespoons of butter into the flour mixture.Yum!

These were so good....light and fluffy. Thought I was at that famous restaurant. Didn't have any cake flour....so just added a teaspoon of corn starch to A P flour. Delicious.

Not so much a rating as a more accurate method

Love these...the only things that I did differently were to use 2 Tablespoon cornstarch and add in enough flour to make 1 cups worth (in place of 1 cup cake flour) and I did double the amount of butter topping that you brush on at the end (I ran out!). Otherwise great!

These biscuits were not only easy to make but also delicious.  I added Old Bay seasoning to my butter mixture as well as in the biscuit batter.

I just made these, and they are amazing! super simple and delicious!

I did make mine with cake flour and was pleased with the results.  I did the lemon juice in the milk to make buttermilk trick and I was asked for the recipe so I think it was a success.  It's hard not to over mix trying to get all the flour in I'll have to work on that.

Much, much more "authentic" than the copycat biscuits made with a boxed baking mix. I added Italian seasoning to the parsley. Very good!
