Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Red Lobster copycat)

Try them once and you will be disappointed the next time you eat at Red Lobster. Why? Because they are even better than the orginal! Yes, they are that good! Light and fluffy, yet the crust is crunchy and buttery. As always, let me know how you like them!

Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. Drop 12 equal portions onto greased cookie sheet.  Sprinkle garlic salt on top of each biscuit lightly. 
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until tops are light brown.
