     Title: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Categories: Breads, Cheese, Dairy, Herbs
     Yield: 12 Biscuits

     3 c  Biscuit/baking mix
   3/4 c  Sharp Cheddar cheese;
          - shredded
     1 ts Garlic powder
     1 ts Ranch dressing mix
     1 c  Buttermilk

MMMMM--------------------BUTTER-HERB TOPPING-------------------------
   1/4 c  Butter; melted
     1 tb Chives; minced
     1 ts Garlic powder
   1/2 ts Ranch salad dressing mix
   1/4 ts Ground black pepper
   1/4 ts Salt

 MIX BISCUIT INGREDIENTS: In a large mixing bowl, combine
 the biscuit/baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic
 powder, ranch powder, and buttermilk. Stir to combine
 until all ingredients are wet and a shaggy dough forms.
 Be careful not to overmix.

 DROP THE BISCUITS ONTO A BAKING SHEET: scooping heaping
 spoonfuls of cheddar bay biscuit dough onto lined baking
 sheet.

 Set oven @ 450°F/232°C. Then, drop heaping spoonfuls of
 biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave
 about 2" between the biscuits. You should get 8 to
 12 biscuits from this recipe, depending on the size of
 your spoonfuls.

 Place the biscuits into oven and bake for 10 minutes, or
 until the biscuits are just starting to turn golden.
 Remove promptly.

 BASTE WITH BUTTER: While the biscuits bake, melt the
 butter in the microwave; 30-45 seconds at 50% power. Add
 the chives, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, salt, and
 pepper and stir to combine.

 Then, while the biscuits are still warm from the oven,
 baste each biscuit generously with the melted herb
 butter. Serve warm.

 Store biscuits in an airtight container at room
 temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the
 biscuits on a lined baking sheet and warm in a heated
 oven for 5 minutes. Brush with fresh herb butter, if
 desired.

 Feel free to customize this biscuit recipe with a
 teaspoon or two of your favorite herbs and spices. Here
 are just a few of our recommended variations.

 Cayenne pepper: give a subtle kick to your biscuits

 Onion powder: add a sharp onion flavor that complements
 the chives

 Parsley: provides a fresh, herb flavor and aroma

 Basil: give your biscuits some Italian flair with fresh
 or dried basil

 Thyme: we love how sharp, peppery thyme pairs with the
 cheddar in these biscuits

 Rosemary: add a woodsy, earthy aroma and taste to
 Cheddar Bay Biscuits

 Parmesan cheese: use in place of cheddar or add for some
 extra cheesy goodness

 Pepper jack cheese: transform these biscuits into a
 Southwest delight, perfect to serve with chili or
 chicken tortilla soup
