![]() If you already have this on hand, you could try one of these recipes. Most Red Lobster biscuit recipes do, in fact, call for Bisquick mix. Having spent $2.24 for the box and adding my own 1/2 cup cheese + 1/4 cup of butter, it’s a relatively cheap thrill, especially since it tastes like the real thing. But, somehow, these really do taste like the real thing and possibly better. ![]() The list doesn’t list any seasonings or spices and it might actually just be Bisquick. I didn’t notice anything wild about the ingredients in the baking mix. I felt less crazy when a friend informed me that she just made these at home, too, and also thinks they taste better than the restaurant’s. In fact, Jake and I both dare say these taste better. I found this mix to produce an accurate knock-off of what Red Lobster serves in their restaurants. I ended up with extra butter, so you could get away with only using 1/4 cup. The instructions directed me to spoon or brush the butter mixture over the warm biscuits and serve immediately. It smelled like bouillon and tastes of garlic salt. While the biscuits bake, I combined the melted butter with the seasoning mix. I can’t shred cheese and not think of that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where Kip’s grating a giant brick of cheddar with a tiny little grater. Place 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 350℉ for 13-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Mix together the baking mix, cheese, and water in a bowl until just combined. All you need to add is 3/4 cup of cold water, 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/3 cup of melted butter. The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix contained one packet of baking mix and a small foil pouch of seasoning. I met my first lobster in culinary school and I’ll never forget this big box of tethered lobsters whose antennas waved wildly from the top.īut, I digress. She’s been a vegetarian ever since.įrankly, I’m terrified of lobsters. Then she instructed her to, “Now, say bye-bye. He’s going to boil!” Like many lobsters before him, he suffered a Game of Thrones fate and arrived at the table looking the same, except redder. What actually happened horrifies her to this day: The server made her choose a lobster from the tank and give it a name. She had always wanted to try eating a lobster. As a high schooler, she once chose to dine here for her birthday. My first & last endless shrimp experience.Īnd finally, when I think of Red Lobster, I think of my friend Chelsea. I got full 1/2 way into my first plate of shrimp, nullifying the whole promotion. Ordering Endless Shrimp, however, was most certainly not fine. I didn’t return to Red Lobster until Jake and I lived in Fargo. I wanted what I couldn’t have, so I begged and pleaded to go and they finally took me. Growing up, my parents stuck to a rotation of three dine-in restaurants for special occasions, none of which included Red Lobster because my mom didn’t like it. Believe it or not, a Red Lobster actually went out of business here! In Mason City there is no Red Lobster in sight and so it doesn’t sound too bad. It’s true that we all want what we can’t have. At $2.24, plus 1/2 cup of cheese and 1/3 cup of butter, I proceeded in the spirit of “What the heck?” The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix called my name during my last Target trip. This time I grabbed a less expensive product that made no claims to be “premium” quality. ![]() Unfortunately, I found the Duff Goldman Purple Rain cake and insanely expensive Crumbs Bake Shoppe C olossal Cupcake mixes to be lacking. Do they taste like the boxes claim and are they worth their price tags? ![]() I stand in the baking aisle and try to make sense of their antics: Tie-dyed cake patterns, Auntie Annie pretzel kits, and $7 Milk Bar cookies. They draw me in with their colorful packaging and wildly varied price ranges. The world of strange, kooky boxed baking mixes intrigues me.
