For biscuit comfort food, I’d reach for the Red Lobster biscuit mix over any other pre-made biscuits mix any day.8 ounces Beecher's Flagship cheese, grated (about 2 cups)Ģ tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flourĢ ounces Beecher's Just Jack cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup) They are almost identical to the restaurant quality and they’ll bring back your smile on a sad day. You have to be careful, just like when you make them from scratch, not to over mix or your biscuits will turn out like crackers. If you don’t want to spend the time to make the biscuits from scratch, I’d say the Red Lobster biscuit mix is a very close second. It did taste great though and I didn’t notice much of a difference between the homemade or restaurant Red Lobster biscuits and the mix topping. I ended up throwing away a lot of extra butter and garlic mix. I would use about half the amount of butter they say on the box. I had tons left over after dousing the poor biscuits in it. They tell you to melt way too much butter though. The butter topping mixture comes from a separate packet mix but does taste very accurate. I didn’t notice that it lacked any substantial texture issues and it did fluff up, although not as much as the other versions. It took less time to cook than the homemade ones and probably less time to table than the restaurant depending on your location. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Depending on Costco holiday hours you should be able to get in and order the ingredients in this post. Overall, the texture was exactly the same. If you make the box mix, use milk, you’ll thank yourself later. Typically when I make box mixes, I use milk, but I wanted to give this mix a fair test by doing exactly what it said on the box. I know that box recipes love the “just add water” catchphrase, but milk would have helped. I also would have rather added milk, like in the homemade recipe, than water. It tasted as if you added fresh cheese to a great mix which is what you do (see the box instructions). It didn’t taste like everything melted together like the butter and shortening and cheese were melted into one biscuit.

That was one of the biggest differences I noticed. They’re warm and fluffy and you can mix everything without it coming in a powdered form.

I’m sorry if that bursts your dreams or balloons or whatever, but it’s true. Nothing really compares to biscuits made from scratch. It did taste a little flat overall and lacked the same punch in your mouth, but I’d say pick up a box next time you see it. It was almost as good as the homemade or fresh biscuits. I was actually surprised at how good the Red Lobster box mix tasted.

I love some box mixes because they taste homemade without the extra cardboard flavor. But does the box mix live up to the expectations we have from loving them fresh at the restaurant or from scratch?

They’re cheesy, crunchy yet soft, full of garlic flavor, and great cold or hot. I’d never seen it before and it was hidden in the cheese section, not sure why, but I jumped on the opportunity to try it.Īs I mentioned previously, I, like millions (I think) of others, love Red Lobster biscuits you can find the recipe here. It happens that right after I made that recipe, I stumbled upon the mix at the supermarket. I recently wrote a post about Red Lobster biscuits made from scratch (and admitted I have a problem hi, I’m Mandy and I’m addicted to biscuits).
