RED LOBSTER CHEESE BISCUITS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 60 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Biscuits

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 t Garlic salt or powder
1 tb Parsley flakes
1 t Italian seasonings
5 lb Bisquick
44 oz — Water, cold
1 lb Cheddar, sharp — grated
1/2 c Butter

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, water and
cheese. Drop by large spoonfuls onto greased baking
sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. After baking, (while
hot) brush on melted butter or margarine mixed with
garlic powder, parsley flakes and Italian seasoning.
(Amounts will vary by the size batch you make, but a
little goes a long way.) Serve hot. The RL manager’s
recipe is for a large quantity, so you’ll have to
reduce the ingredient quantities by the size batch you
desire. Note: For a smaller batch I usually use 2 C.
Bisquick, 1/2 cup cold water, and 3/4 c. grated
cheddar which will yield about 12 biscuits. You may
also substitute soda water or gingerale for the water,
if desired.

BABY ROUTH’S ROSEMARY MUFFINS WITH GOAT CHEES

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3/4 c Milk
3/4 c Golden raisins
1 tb Chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 c Unsalted butter
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
1 lg Egg
8 tb Goat cheese

Rosemary, golden rasins, and a creamy goat cheese
center make these muffins taste so special. Carla
Wood, sous chef and butcher at Baby Routh in Dallas
serves them with wild game, lamb, or pork dishes or
with a festive luncheon salad.

DIRECTIONS: ÿÿÿÿSimmer milk, raisins, and
rosemary in a small saucepan for 2 minutes. Remove
from heat, add butter and stir until melted. Let cool.

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Beat egg into
cooked milk mixture. Add to dry ingredients and mix
lightly just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Spoon 1/3 of the batter into 12 greased muffin cups.
Place 2 teaspoons of goat cheee in center of batter in
each cup. Cover cheese with remaining batter,
dividing among each of the muffins. Bake
approximately 20 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F
oven, or until brown and springy in the center.

Serve muffins hot or cool. If desired, a 3/4-inch
cube of cream cheese may be substituted for goat
cheese. Without cheese, muffins are still delicious!
