I love myself some delicious biscuits, especially the ones from Red Lobster. I think it’s widely known that they are probably the best ones out there.. but FULL of carbs. So today I decided to make some flavourful keto cheddar biscuits that rival the ones from the R-L.
For this recipe, I decided to make a homemade buttermilk. It’s actually SO easy! Just adding a tsp of vinegar into heavy cream gives it the perfect buttermilk taste!
You can add anything to these keto cheese biscuits but I preferred to just stick with garlic, cheese and some onion. It really tastes just like it’s from a restaurant!
I also brushed on some melted garlic butter to give these keto buttermilk biscuits a boost of flavour – you can brush this on either before or after the oven!
I hope you enjoy these biscuits! Make sure to try out my pizza buns!

These look absolutely scrumptious ? can you make without the whey isolate? Or is there a substitute?
You could use egg protein, casein or collagen!
I’ve made a few different Keto biscuits over the years and I’m so happy to have found this recipe! These were by FAR the best I’ve tried (even dad and the BF said they were “perfectly acceptable” which is good since I decided I wasn’t going to cook them rice separately for dinner last night LOL.) I made them larger and more “dropped” and cooked them a bit longer just to make sure they were cooked through. Ridiculous! I have two left over, I’m going to try one as a slider burger bun and toast it. Look forward to trying more recipes from you!
