What do I need to make these cheesy vegan biscuits?
- Bisquick - this can be store-bought vegan biscuit mix or homemade. For gluten-free use my homemade gluten-free Bisquick.
- Plant-Based Milk - to provide liquid to form the Bisquick into the dough. You can use any type of plant milk that you like.
- Vegan Cheddar Style Cheese - for a cheesy biscuit. You can use any store-bought vegan cheese you like or use my recipe to make your own vegan cheddar cheese.
- Vegan Butter - to coat the biscuits. I think that my homemade vegan butter recipe tastes the best, but you can use any dairy-free butter you wish.
- Garlic Powder - to flavor the butter.
- Parsley - to flavor the butter and make it pretty.
- Salt - for flavor.
- Old Bay Seasoning - for flavor.
How do I make vegan Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Style biscuits?
- Start by pre-heating the oven to 450° F.
- Then simply place a cup of vegan Bisquick in a mixing bowl.
- Add a ½ cup of vegan shredded cheddar cheese and stir.
- Pour in 1/3 cup of PLAIN soy milk or other plant-based milk.
- Mix with a fork, just enough to combine the ingredients. (Don’t over stir).
- Drop about 1/3 cup of biscuit dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet
- Bake for 8-11 minutes until slightly golden and dry.
- While the biscuits are cooking; mix together a ¼ cup of melted vegan butter, 1 tsp parsley, ¼ tsp. garlic salt and 1/8 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning.
- After the biscuits are done baking, place them one at a time in the bowl of garlic butter to coat them completely.
- Set them on a plate or in a bread basket and serve warm.
Tips for making perfect vegan biscuits:
- If the dough seems dry, add another splash of soy milk until all the flour is moist and sticky like traditional biscuit dough.
- You can make these with regular wheat Bisquick or store-bought gluten-free Bisquick, however, if you are making them gluten-free, they come out the best with my gluten-free Bisquick recipe.
- If you are using store-bought Bisquick, be sure to check the ingredients and make sure that it is vegan. (Many times the low-fat version is vegan).
- You can use any type of vegan margarine for the garlic butter, but I prefer my homemade vegan butter recipe! It tastes more like real butter than any other vegan margarine that I have tried.
- If you don’t have Old Bay Seasoning you can leave it out or add a small dash of celery salt, cayenne, and paprika to the butter.
How do I make gluten-free vegan biscuits?
It’s simple to make these biscuits if you have some gluten-free Bisquick. You can use store-bought Bisquick if you want or simply make your own in just a few minutes with my easy homemade gluten-free Bisquick mix. I have made them both ways and my family prefers the homemade Bisquick over the store-bought varieties!
