How to Make Red Lobster Biscuits

Making copycat Red Lobster biscuits from scratch is actually quite easy. You'll find the full recipe below, but here's a brief overview of what you can expect:

Make the Dough

In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and lightly mix. The mixture is meant to be chunky — so be careful not to overmix.

Bake

Drop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Make the Butter Topping

Melt the butter and stir in garlic powder and parsley (if you're using it). Then brush the butter topping onto each biscuit. Bake for another 5 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.

How to Reheat Red Lobster Biscuits

There are a few simple ways to reheat Red Lobster biscuits:

Oven

The easiest way is to reheat the biscuits in a 350 degree F oven until warmed through.

Air Fryer

Reheat Red Lobster biscuits in a 350 degree F air fryer for 5 minutes, until warmed through.

Toaster Oven

Reheat biscuits in a 350 degree F toaster oven for about 7 minutes, until warmed through. The toaster oven will keep the biscuits crispy on the outside, but fluffy on the inside.

Microwave

Wrap each biscuit with a damp paper towel, then microwave in 10-15 second intervals, until warmed through.

How to Store Red Lobster Biscuits

Store Red Lobster biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for three days or in the fridge for five days.

How to Freeze Red Lobster Biscuits

Store completely cooled Red Lobster biscuits in an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and reheat using your preferred method.

"Delicious! So easy to make and they turn out perfectly every time, way better than the ones Red Lobster serves. Be sure you add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the melted butter, it adds that extra something. I sprinkle mine with Italian seasoning before putting back in the oven," raves stephanieg93.

"These were very simple to make and absolutely delicious! All 4 of my young children loved them and so did my husband—-a win!—-just out of personal Maryland preference I brushed the top with butter and old bay," according to Genevieve Acker.

"Absolutely delicious and turned out great! These taste very much like the original and are so flaky and fluffy! I will be definitely making these again, a savory treat for the whole family," says littlechef.
