3. Stir in milk, cheese and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix, using a wooden spoon or your hands, just until fully incorporated.
4. Drop 1/4-cup portion of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Allow an inch or so between each portion.^[3]

7. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown around the peaks of each biscuit.^[3]

Comments

• By skipping the cheese and spices, other flavorings such as cinnamon, sugar and raisins can create a sweeter version suitable for a breakfast or dessert. Another way to use the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit dough is to wrap it around a hot dog or sausage.

• Red Lobster recommends that you don't over-knead the dough.^[1]

• If you'd prefer, you can substitute cold water for the cold whole milk to make the biscuit dough.^[4]
