Now these sound like some really interesting biscuits, I have to admit I’ve never been to Red Lobster, so I would love to try something from them.
These sound yummy. We don’t really have ‘biscuits’ like these in Aus, as we call cookies biscuits, but I’d like to try them.
I had to admit I never had lobster, but those biscuits looks amazing. I would love to eat them
They sell a mix for the Red Lobster ones in the store. Its not very good. I prefer to start from scratch like this recipe.
Oh my gosh, YES. These are my favorite things about Red Lobster. I’ll be making them soon! I tried the box kit but they didn’t taste the same.
Red Lobster biscuits are the BEST. I recently covered Red Lobster in one of my blogs actually! I love DIY restaurant imitations.

There is scarcely anything better than Red Lobster biscuits. My granddaughter makes them and they taste exactly like the real deal. I’m going to surprise her by trying your recipe so she doesn’t have to make them all the time, lol.
Red Lobster biscuits happen to be one of my favorite. We often make the ones that come in a box, but these look so much better!
