Cheddar Bay Biscuits

      This delicious biscuit recipe comes from the Red Lobster Restaurant on Wolf Road in Colonie. So many customers requested the recipe that the local newspaper obtained and printed it.  This recipe is a little different.  They use a biscuit mix in theirs and the recipe makes enough to feed an army.  The biscuit really wasn’t what the customers enjoyed as much as they enjoyed the topping.  So if you have a favorite biscuit recipe by all means use it, but be sure to add this delicious topping which is what gives their biscuit its flavor.
