Red Lobster's Biscuits

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Muffins Quickbreads Scones

INSTRUCTIONS
I wanted to share a recipe with the Circle for RL's famous biscuits.

I used the Stone Lion Scone recipe, omitting the sugar and adding 3 T. of the cheese packet that comes from a Kraft mac-n-cheese mix. My MIL suggested adding 1/4 to 1/2 C. shredded cheddar to the biscuits as well.

I baked a test batch the other day and they were excellent...maybe even better than the restaurant version. When they were warm, I brushed them with melted butter & garlic salt and then sprinkled with dried parsley flakes.

Yum!

Stone Lion Inn Scones

This is the single most complimented recipe I make at my Bed & Breakfast. It produces a light, airy scone that is just a little sweet. Almost any dried fruit or combination of fruits can be added to make this scone your own, but I will include some of my favorite combinations at the end.

2 cups AP flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 cup (approximately) dried fruit, chopped if necessary to the size of raisins
1 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Combine flour, sugar, salt & baking powder in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly with a fork. Add dried fruit to mixture and stir together with fork. Add cream and stir until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 8 - 10 times. Pat dough into a circle about 10" in diameter.

If desired, brush top of dough with melted butter and sprinkle with course sugar. Cut dough into 12 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until tops are just slightly golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I almost always use two fruits in my scones. Here are some of my favorite combinations:

- cranberries & apricots
- pears & currants
- chocolate chips & dried cherries
- pineapple & unsweetened coconut, + 1 TBSP confectioners sugar mixed with coconut
- crystallized ginger (chopped very fine) and either peaches or pineapple

Spread the word
