Red Lobster^® Cheddar Bay Crab Biscuits^®

Red Lobster® Restaurant

Makes:  8 Biscuits

"This is a slight improvement of Red Lobster's famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits; it has a little bit of crab thrown in. If you like those tender, cheesy biscuits that come with every meal at Red Lobster, then you'll surely like this new recipe. If you rather stick with the original, then you can, just leave out the addition of crab."
