In reply to Amanda Sue Brown. Yes, I just made the gluten free biscuits from the box mix and had a really bad reaction. The biscuit was delicious and I almost ate another. Thank God I didn't, because I thought I may die. I really hate Red Lobster Now. Beware!

I had the same content and flavor results. And yessss, fresh grated cheese, pleazz!

I have made these multiple times and here’s what put them over the top for me and turned them into a staple for brunch and parties…

Almost double the cheese in the mix AND make them small! 21 to 22 per batch. All will fit on a single large cookie sheet. Place an inch apart. Not too round nor too flat. These barely spread or settle. What takes these to the next level is that added crunch by taking them out after 14 minutes, changing the oven to broil (450), topping the biscuits with a couple of pinches of cheese (I include fresh grated parm’) (drizzle now with butter, if adding) and broiling until golden with crusty tips. Less than three minutes in my oven.

I’ve found these worth the effort, especially one under and over a sunny-side up egg. Yum! And gluten free!

I made these gluten-free biscuits as a side dish to my Christmas dinner. I thought they were every bit as delicious as I remembered the original biscuits to be from year’s ago when I was able to eat gluten. They were hot and cheesy on the inside and crisp and buttery on the outside. Unfortunately I had a gluten reaction to them. Has anyone else experienced a negative digestive reaction to these biscuits? Everything else on the dinner menu was gluten-free and the biscuits were the independent variable in my Christmas dinner.

I have never had a Red Lobster cheese biscuit, but I LOVE biscuits and I love cheese, so when I saw these online, I had to try them. Took a long drive to get to a Walmart and bought a box. I don’t like the ingredient list or the price, but OMG, these are the BEST gf biscuits I’ve had, and I’ve tried many- made from scratch by restaurants and bakeries, frozen (Whole Foods), and from mixes- all of them were either like rocks and/or gummy inside, or weirdly soft, and none were a lovely brown or had a crispy outside and soft crumb inside. Until now.
I made half the package (I measured the mix and found the box contains 2 c. total, so it’s easy to cut in half). Half a package gave me 6 nice sized drop biscuits. Mine did brown, which really surprised me, and they were done in 15 minutes. I decided to try the butter/herb mix, though I felt all the extra butter was overkill. Yet I ate them all and though I feel kind of sick right now, I’d do it again in a second. They were really, really tasty.
I will be buying more of this mix. I loved these biscuits.

I was ecstatic when I saw the Red Lobster g/f cheddar biscuits at my local Walmart for $3.84!! I made them tonight & they are fantastic!! I cut the water to 3/4 cup as I melted 1/4 cup of butter with the garlic seasoning & added it right into the mix!! It yielded 12 biscuits as stated & baked for 20 minutes & they were golden brown!! I’m buying more tomorrow!!

I thought they were great and tasted better than most gluten free biscuits I have made from scratch. And much easier I particularly loved the texture. My son who is the one with the gluten allergy, loved them.

Thank you for this review! I was excited to find out about these yesterday and bought some today. I did mix in the garlic pouch to the dough as you suggested. I also reduced the cooking time and butter amount. They came out really good!! Gluten free for three years and each year the options get better 🙂

I made these tonight. The herb blend was way too salty. Probably would have been better to stir it into the mix and skip the melted butter entirely. Quite expensive as usual for gluten free mixes. I’ll stick to made from scrstch

Wegmans in CNY also carries the gluten-free Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix costing $3.99 located in their baking supplies isle. After reading your review, I decided to whisk the Garlic Herb Blend pouch into the flour first. Then I whisked the 1 cup of REALLY COLD water into the mixture. Shredded 1/2 cup Gouda cheese and mixed it in with a spatula. I decided to use the Breville Smart Oven using the thin pizza tin that came with the oven. Sprayed nonstick onto the tin. Used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to mound 18 biscuits close together on the pizza tin. Divided two tablespoons cold butter portions into 18 small cubes and poked 1 cube atop each biscuit before baking. Then I put the pan into the oven; baked at 425°; removed the biscuits after 9 minutes. They were browned all around! They did not spread on the tin. I served them with 3 pounds of baked chicken wings that cooked in the big oven and 4 bean salad. Yes, the biscuits are bland and I could hardly see any green specks from the Garlic Herb. But they were good with the flavorful wings. Very fast and convenient to make and have on hand when in a hurry. Next time, I might add 1/4 tsp sea salt or Herb Ox Chicken bouillon. And I might try a more pungent cheese and add some finely chopped scallion. Thanks for sharing your new find, testing the mix, and review thoughts.
