How to Make Copycat Cheddar Bay Biscuits:

These biscuits make a great side dish for soup, chili, seafood, or a topping for pot pies! Here’s a quick rundown of how we make them.

Scroll to the recipe card below for ingredient amounts and full instructions.

Make the Biscuits:

Preheat the oven to 425°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, milk, and cheese.
Use a 4-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the biscuit dough onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the biscuits brown around the edges and on the tops.

Make the Garlic Butter:

While the biscuits bake, prepare the garlic butter. In a bowl, melt the butter.
Whisk in the garlic powder, parsley, onion powder, and salt.
Once the biscuits finish baking, use a pastry brush to apply the garlic butter to the warm biscuits.
Serve immediately!

Tips for Success:

Use unsalted butter for the garlic butter topping. If you’d prefer salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
Adjust the seasonings in the butter topping as desired.
Double this recipe to feed a crowd. You may need an extra baking pan!
Don’t over bake the biscuits; otherwise, they’ll dry out.
Try to form the biscuits into uniform shapes and sizes, so they’ll bake evenly.
We use whole milk for this recipe. Any variety of milk works, but one with a higher fat percentage works best. If using a milk substitute, try using a mild-tasting one.

How to Store Cheddar Biscuits:

Refrigerator: Store leftover biscuits in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Place cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

How to Reheat Cheddar Bay Biscuits:

Reheat leftover biscuits in the microwave on half power until heated through. Thaw frozen biscuits at room temperature or in the refrigerator before reheating.

Can You Make These Using Pancake Mix?

Yes, but be aware that many pancake mixes contain sugar which makes the biscuits sweet. We prefer Bisquick baking mix for its taste and texture.

Can You Make These Gluten-Free?

Yes, these garlic cheddar biscuits can be made gluten-free. We’ve used gluten-free Bisquick mix and they turn out ok. The taste and texture are slightly different, but the recipe still works.

Can You Use Pre-Shredded Cheese?

You sure can! The dough should have a slightly sticky or tacky consistency. If it’s too dry with the pre-shredded cheese, add a tablespoon or two of additional milk to reach the desired consistency.
