Let’s face it, no one goes to Red Lobster for the seafood. It’s the awesome Cheddar Bay Biscuits that get you there and fill you up before you even tear into your appetizer. Why not skip having to go out and make your own copycat Red Lobster biscuits at home? The Cheddar Bay Biscuits are made with 2 cups of Bisquick baking mix, 3/4 cups of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese, and 3/4 cups of water. The ingredients are mixed then dropped onto a baking sheet and baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. While the biscuits cook, melt 1/4 cup of butter and mix in 1/4 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley. Remove the biscuits and brush them with the butter mix, then return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Do you love fair food, but hate the gut bubbling nausea you get after scarfing down some of your favorite fair eats then going for a ride on the Gravitron? Why not skip the lines and tickets and make some fair foods at home. We’re going to start our installments of state fair recipes with deep fried Oreos! The recipe is simple, freeze Oreos for 4 hours so that they will not break down in the batter or frying oil. Heat oil in a pan or deep fryer. Mix pancake batter in a bowl, keeping the consistency of the batter thick. Coat the frozen Oreos in the batter and carefully place them into the hot oil. Allow the fried Oreos to get golden brown on each side before removing and placing them on a paper towel lined plate. Complete the deep fried Oreos with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
