Ah, Rosemary Cheddar Drop Biscuits—the mere thought of them sends a warm wave of comfort and nostalgia through my kitchen. These biscuits, with their golden crust and soft, cheesy insides, are a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create something truly special. I remember the first time I decided to bake these on a whim, hoping to surprise my family on a dreary Sunday morning. As the aroma of rosemary and melting cheese wafted through the air, it turned a regular morning into a cozy gathering, filled with laughter and crumbs. It’s funny how food has the power to transform moments, isn’t it?
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (the foundation of our biscuit building)
- 1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, divided (for that sharp, melty heart)
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary (adding that aromatic, earthy note)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (just a hint of warmth)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (our rise to glory)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (a touch of sweetness to balance the savory)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (because flavor matters)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (a gentle kick)
- 1/2 cup (4 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed (the secret to flaky layers)
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk (for tender, moist biscuits)
