Sriracha-Cheddar Biscuits
Are you a fan of the Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster? If so, I’d like to introduce you to their slightly spicier cousin: the Sriracha-cheddar biscuit!
I don’t really care for Red Lobster all that much, but give me a basket of those biscuits any day and I’ll be as happy as can be. I like bread and cheese and garlic, especially when they are all wrapped up in one! This biscuit recipe is so simple. I used some self-rising flour from King Arthur Flour. The flour already has salt and baking powder so no need to add them here. I can’t wait to try some sweets with it!
I made these biscuits to use as “buns” for my black bean burgers and they were a perfect fit! Not too spicy, but full of flavor from the cheese, garlic powder and the Sriracha!
Sriracha-Cheddar Biscuits Recipe
Yield: 18 biscuits
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
A simple cheese biscuit recipe, kicked up with Sriracha hot sauce.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup milk
1 Tbs. Sriracha sauce
2 cups self-rising flour
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup butter, cut into cubes, kept in the fridge until ready to use
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For brushing the biscuits:
1 Tbs. milk
1 tsp. SrirachaDirections:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with Silpat liners or parchment paper. Set aside.
Mix the milk and Sriracha sauce until well blended. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Whisk the flour, cayenne pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and work with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles wet sand. Pour in the milk/Sriracha mixture and stir just until the milk is absorbed. Mix in the cheese, careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky, using a little more flour as needed. Roll into a circle about 1/2-inch thick.
Cut the biscuits to the desired shape and place on a Silpat-lined or parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the extra milk and Sriracha together until blended. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the mixture.
Bake in the prepared oven for 14-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
Cassie's Notes:
If you don't have cheddar, feel free to use any kind of cheese that you have on hand.

Love these, Cassie!
Wait..there are people who DONT like red lobster biscuits? Crazy talk.
Love these!
what a brilliant recipe! I love the idea of using them as burger buns!
Great looking biscuits! I love King Arthur Flour. I am convinced it totally does make my baking turn out better.
Mmmmm!! I make a version of these biscuits too and they’re to die for!
OMG, wonderful things would happen to my mouth with these in them.
I’m loving sriracha week. The biscuits, oh my, I can only imagine how much better they’re made with a kick of the rooster sauce.
I am in love with all of these recipes. What a great idea to have a sriracha week. Love that stuff.
Loving these! And I’ve got to try that flour sometime.
Is there anything better than cheese AND carbs? Love this, Cassie!
the cheddar bay biscuits are the sole reason I visit Red Lobster! Never made a version on my own though. 🙂
I’m making these this weekend! I loved those Cheddar Bay Biscuits as a kid and Sriracha makes everything better…well, almost everything.
Biscuits are my weakness. I’m looking away, no I’m not. Want now LOL
BAH! Sriracha biscuits? mad genius woman you are.
Love those cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster, and I bet they’re even better with a little sriracha kick!
These really do sound like they are full of flavour, great job Cassie!
This is why I love you!! YUMZ!
The cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster are my favorite! What a great way to incorporate Sriracha into these! Great recipe, Cassie!
Love Sriracha and biscuits. A delicious combination!
These look amazing! I love spicy foods.
YESSSSSSS! Thee are happening, Cassie! We’re making chowder over the weekend, and these biscuits will be there for the dipping 😉
I love bread. Period. These look fantastic, Cassie!
Y. E. S. to Sriracha Week and Y. E. S. to biscuits with self-rising flour. I love working with self-rising flour and these biscuits just look so delicious, Cassie!!
I love their biscuits too…and I love making them at home. This looks amazing, Cassie!!
I’m such a sucker for those biscuits too but I haven’t been to red lobster in quite some time so I haven’t had a chance to eat them! So glad I can recreate these at home though – and of course you have my most favorite ingredient – Sriracha! 🙂
These biscuits look like a carb lover’s dream!
No you DIDN”T! I love these. Seriously love.
Ya, when I go to Red Lobster I get a salad and biscuits. Love the bisqcuits. Love Siracha too. Yummo!
I would have never thought to add sriracha to a biscuit! Great idea!
I love biscuits…and love King Arthur products!
You know I never use self-rising flour; just the K.A. in the red bag, their all-purpose. I need to check it out! I love those Red Lobster biscuits…ahhh, memories!
Ohhhh your biscuits look amazing!!! I have to try these!!
I love biscuits, they are a weakness for me. Love all the flavor in here – so good!
Spicy biscuits?! Count me in 😉
Oh man, I saw these on Pinterest earlier ans have been looking forward to the recipe! I’m with you on Red Lobster. Back in my college stoner days (pre-foodie) I was all about that place and the biscuits. Now, I just miss the biscuits! So buttery, so delicious. I am definitely making these soon.
I have to admit, I’m usually not big on spicy foods, but these biscuits look amazing! And, I love the thought of using them as bean burger buns. Genius 🙂
Mmm carbs! These look delicious!
i love that you created spicy biscuits!! so different and so delicious!!
What perfect, pretty little biscuits. A little ham and egg on these and I’m good to go for breakfast! Fabulous! : )
ahhhh i LOVE red lobster’s biscuits.. i love the spicy take on these.
Cheesy biscuits are the only reason I venture into Red Lobster. I order chicken every time:-) I think it’s about time I tried a homemade version…I love that you added a spicy kick to them!!!
I love cheesy biscuits, well anything that slightly resembles cheese and bread and your spicy version is very tempting Cassie
I love King Arthur flour but never seen their self rising flour in the supermarket shelf. As I’m not a baker, I’m not sure when to use “self-rising” flour, but the only difference is just added salt and baking powder?
Who doesn’t love those Red Lobster biscuits?!?!?! And these sound even better!
I’m a supporter of all cheese biscuits! Never been to Red Lobster though. I’d love to go and just eat these biscuits I read so much about. But I’m sure these are way better. 🙂
I love the idea of spicing up cheddar biscuits!
Such a great idea! I’ll have to try that next time I’m making some normal old biscuits! I can’t get enough spice in my life!
Cassie you kind of just blew my mind. My grandma always makes her biscuits with self-rising flour… but adding sriracha is genius! (I’m a recent rooster sauce convert.) And using biscuits as burger buns?! L.O.V.E.
