I tried once to make the gf version of the Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. Ohhhh fail. Fail fail fail. It was cheddar starch soup. I couldn't get xanthan gum in Japan and thought if I just put a bit more starch in there it would be nice and firm. It ended up being a pretty tasty cracker at first, then I put it in a brownie pan and made some kind of cheesy cornbread.
I wondered if the cheddar biscuits at Whole Foods would be anything like the Red Lobster biscuits of my dreams.
Well ... not quite. They're undoubtedly good. I put it in the oven for 10 minutes and it browned a little bit and was quite good in the texture department (except right in the center). However, I couldn't get over the feeling that it tasted like ... soup. It's a cheddar biscuit full of chives! Chives! Like soup! So mostly I tasted bread and chives and not enough cheddar or anything else.
Pretty good. $10 worth of good for 8 biscuits? Well ... I don't know about that. But pretty good.
