Have any of you been to a Red Lobster? Anyone?
Oh, you think since I'm a food blogger and such that I don't ever frequent chain resturants. Well, you could not be more wrong. My grandpa loves Red Lobster. And if Grandpa Jack wants to eat at Red Lobster, well then, that's where we're going. 🙂
Fine with me anyway, because they have these things called Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They are quite tasty.
These are Cheddar Bay Biscuit's spicy cousin. But not too spicy, don't worry. Just the right amount. Or at least that's my opinion. You should totally make these and see what you think. 
Jalapeño & Cheese Biscuits, makes ten to twelve.
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 cup buttermilk
1 jalapeño, sliced thin + seeds and veins removed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender to incorporate the cold butter.
Stir in the chopped jalapeño and cheese. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a loose dough ball forms. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Roll out the dough. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out 10-12 biscuits. If you can't find your biscuit cutter (what the heck!?), use a heart-shaped cookie cutter instead. Or you can use the top of a drinking glass or just cut them into squares.
Tip: If you want these a bit more spicy leave some of the jalapeño seeds in. The seeds contain a lot of the heat. Just FYI.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with one egg whisked with a tablespoon or so of water (egg wash). This will give your biscuits a beautiful, golden top. Bake at 400°F for 14-15 minutes.
These are awesome paired with scrambled eggs or mushroom gravy for breakfast. Or you could totally serve this alongside soup or chili for lunch or dinner. 
Enjoy these! xo. Emma

I had some cheddar, bacon, jalapeno biscuits at a restaurant a little while back, and I’ve been wanting to make them ever since. Thank you for posting these and reminding me to put them back on my list!
Ohhhhhh yes please. I’m on a biscuit bender right now and these are making my mouth water! I make cheddar bay biscuits all the time at home and find that putting in a wee bit of Old Bay seasoning is yumm yumm yumm!

OOOH! I’ve been dreaming of red lobster biscuits for ages. Since moving to NZ I keep meaning to figure out how to make my own. The jalapenos added seems like the PERFECT addition. THANK YOOOOOOOU x

Do it, do it! If you’re feeling adventurous you might try facon (you know, fake bacon, like soy). I bought some last week. Been pretty skeptical of it as it looks kind of like a toy or dog treat. Ha! But we have found that if you cook it and then crumble it (think bacon bits) it’s actually really awesome. That would be perfect in biscuits. So I may have to steal your idea. We’re currently making lots of “bacon” risotto with veggies at our house this week. 🙂

Old Bay seasoning would be the perfect addition. Love that thought.

Yep. The perks of having more people around when I’m cooking. It used to be just lonely me in a my kitchen, but now we have Sarah around to snap photos (and also bring a lot of cheer to the office). 🙂

I wanna do it but it’s very spicy?
These sounds amazing! I am definitely going to have to make these soon! I’ve never been to Red Lobster, but with the prospect of those biscuits, who knows!

Hmm looks Delish! And would be a good subject for my #onthetable Challenge!
Could you come cook for me tomorrow, boyfriend’s of skiing 😉

These look lovely Emma!! I am definitely going to try these out – they would go so nicely with hot soup on a warm day!
so, hold the phone, biscuits are just british scones with buttermilk? I have been wondering about the difference for a while! these look delicious!
I think we need a cute apron DIY! Loving the look!
These sound so delicious! What if you don’t own a pastry blender? Hmmm!
Yummy!

I LOVE red lobster biscuits! Can’t wait to try these!
These look amazing! My hubby and I go to Red Lobster just for the biscuits. The rest of the meal, eh…
Do you have a link anywhere to “printer friendly” formats for your recipes?
All your recipes are super cute and tasty! Have you ever considered making downloadable and printable recipe cards? I think they would be great 🙂
These look delicious! I love a little kick to add to breakfast or a nice tomato soup!

I have been hesitant to try baking biscuits but this seems super easy. Thanks for sharing!! Pinned 🙂
Emma, do you know how many grams of butter correspond to the 6 tablespoons?
My Grandma loves red lobster too. And considering that we are hispanics that like a little spice, I think she would love these. I need to make them for her.

Tried them with New Mexico Green Chile. In my opinion, better than the jalapeño!
These look fantastic. I’ve always wanted to try biscuits or savoury scones as they’re called here. Question though, is it possible to freeze these after baking? There is no way I could eat them all by myself so if I could store them in the freezer and reheat when I feel like one that would be awesome. Kudos for the recipe! 🙂
Are these like Scones in the UK? Also, what could I use instead of buttermilk in the recipe as it’s not widely available here!
Dude. Seriously awesome!
I used one cup all purpose flour and one cup wheat flour and these biscuits turned out pretty terrible. They didn’t cook all the way through– I had to almost double the baking time and the biscuits were not flaky. Would this be because of the one cup wheat flour??
this sounds like something my boyfriend would love. i’m going to add these to my 1 million recipe long list of things to make! Thanks!!
