Cheddar Bay biscuits

Cheddar Bay Biscuits- Recipe by Damn Delicious

Aloha! (Someone said Aloha in an email the other day and I loved it.)

I made another 90’s classic- Copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Process-

These were so freaking easy to make. Everyone needs to make biscuits!!!! You get a biscuit, you get a biscuit, everyone gets a biscuit!

Mix flour and spices, then add the buttermilk, cheddar and chives, FOLD, and scoop them on to a pan. Have I stressed the importance of learning how to make biscuits? I want to make every biscuit in the world after this experience. It’s a confidence booster.

Taste-
Man, these are so good. They taste pretty close to the original, if not better. The cheddar crisped up on some of them, and who doesn’t love crispy cheese? You can taste the garlic powder and the fresh chives. They were soft on the inside and held their structure on the outside. Make these now!

Chives don’t get the love they deserve. I fell in love with chives on my honeymoon. There was a cafe across the street from our flat in Paris that served this egg and bacon sandwich with sprinkled chives on top. It was that little added oniony flavor that made the sandwich. I also love how dainty they are!

Random Thoughts-

I think I need to make more savory things. Would it be wrong to add dishes that don’t include baking? I know I’m all over the place, but I think it might be more cost and weight effective if I add a dinner or lunch recipe from time to time. Who knows.

I can’t wait to get the props and backdrops I ordered. These things are going to take my photos to a whole new level!

I’m going to make Challah bread today. It’s hot as balls, but I’m doing it. I’ve been planning to make it for the past week and can’t back out now. Part of the reason I chose to make Challah bread is:

1. Ina Garten. She made Challah french toast on one of her shows, and I have thought about it for years.

2. I’ve always wished I was Jewish. I’ve even thought about converting, but it’s not the same, and I would feel like an imposter. I think this is closest to being Jewish I’ll get.

As I was making these, I thought about the last time I ate at Red Lobster which I can’t remember the last time I ate there, but I do remember never ordering fish. I always ordered the biscuits and fettuccine. Am I the only one who never ordered fish at a fish restaurant?
