My lovely wife took the kitchen out of my control over the weekend, and with stunning results, I admit! She whipped these out Sunday Morning in lieu of the normal “fried spuds” which of course I made on Saturday.
Though we just made these to snack on, I think they would be outrageously perfect if paired with seafood, especially shellfish or chowder.

What I would have done differently if I’d thought about it at the time:
(or in this case, if I’d have been the one doing the cooking!)
I have issues with garlic powder and onion powder. More precisely, My stomach has issues with them. The concentration in these biscuits was enough to make me feel a bit off, so I offer the following for the garlic butter instead of the method listed above.
Ingredients:
¼ cup butter
1-2 clove(s) garlic, minced
2 tbsp onion or shallot, minced
1/8 tsp dried parsley, or 10-12 leaves fresh chopped parsley
Method:
Heat butter over low heat in small saucepan. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add parsley and brush over biscuits as described above.
In my opinion, this butter sauce would work equally as well and have just as much, if not more flavor, without the tummy-twisting capabilities of the powdered variants.
You may also make your own biscuit dough if you desire, but hey, we’ve all got biscuit mix in the pantry somewhere don’t we?
The problem with powder in butter sauces is that they don’t absorb enough moisture. if you were to mix the onion and garlic powders in a tiny amount of water before whisking it into the melted butter, it should have a milder, less stomach destroying flavor. Going with fresh garlic and making your own is always best though.
Wow this recipe looks great! What all goes into the “baking mix” that’s in the ingredient list, or is this something that was store-bought?
Savannah,
Just store bought biscuit mix like bisquick or jiffy
I have made theses biscuits twice now and I think they are the best biscuits I have ever had. I added a little more cheese the second time , and they tasted much better. Thanks for the recipe! These will be made for years and years in our home.
Yummm! I happened upon your blog (when looking for potato soup recipes!) and decided I was going to read your blog because I found it amusing! Then I found these (basically a modified version of the Red Lobster biscuits) and I HAD to make them…. so tonight, it’s greens (possibly a strange pairing…) and these (ok, fine, I can’t just follow a recipe very well so I made some modifications – most notably, milk instead of water). At any rate, thanks for the amusement and reminder that I wanted these.
