Reviews
Made these biscuits for Christmas dinner. I thought they were excellent, easy to make, and different from what we usually serve. Would definitely make these again.
These biscuits were a hit! They are soooo good that I will definitely make them again in the future. The only thing I had to change was the amount of flour suggested to about 2 and 1/2 cups, because they were too wet at first. Overall, this is a great recipe!
The recipe needs to be corrected concerning the amount of flour. Using two cups makes for a wet disaster.
I’ve made these biscuits at least four times. They are hands down the easiest and the best biscuits I’ve ever tasted. My family loves them. The recipe adapts well to variations. Added cheddar cheese and onion powder to mine. Just DELICIOUS!!
These biscuits are so good!! Both my boyfriend and my 7 yr. old liked them and they are both picky eaters. My boyfriend also said that they almost tasted like Red Lobster’s biscuits. The kosher salt on the top was delicious! Next time I will add cheese!
i made them right after watching them on tv and had them for breakfast.The recipe is perfect, instead of full recipe i made it with half just to try on and they came out perfect and yes these are the closest to red lobster’s biscuit recipe. i loved it. Thank you Gina :
VERY CRUNCHY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT SOFT INSIDE, THE EGG WASH & CREAM REALLY MADE THEM LOOK GOOD, EASY TO PUT TOGETHER!
I tried this recipe for breakfast. I mixed the flour (I exchanged 1/2 cup for whole wheat flour), powder, sugar, and salt then I whisked it then separated half to a separate bowl.
I used the whole teaspoon of garlic plus marjoram and thyme instead of chives and parsley which I didn’t have. I added 1/2 cup of cheddar then I added the cream, mixed and kneaded in the bowl, separated into 5 equal balls and mashed them into round biscuits.
The second half I added 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. I added the cream, mixed and kneaded in the bowl and separated into 5 equal balls and mashed into round biscuits.
I used the egg wash and put kosher salt on the savory and brown sugar on the sweet.
They turned out awesome.
Thanks for a great recipe idea Gina.

I just love this recipe. I actually forgot the egg, and the biscuts came wonderful. Thanks Gina 😉
The biscuits came out fantastic! I added cheese to them as well…and that went over really well. The only problem with the recipe is that I needed to add 1 cup more of flour after adding all the cream. I guess I should have added a bit of cream at a time until I got the right consistency, but lesson learned.
