Rosemary Parmesan Drop Biscuits

Rosemary Parmesan Drop Biscuits

Visitors to my kitchen will know that I am a great fan of quick and easy savory biscuits. Not only do they fill out a meal, they are a tasty treat in their own right. Though I have no shortage of biscuit recipes on hand, I can never resist new ideas. I found this recipe in the latest issue of Cook's Illustrated.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups unbleached white flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, cooled for 5 minutes
Instructions:
  • Preheat an oven to 475° and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, Parmesan and rosemary. In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk and slightly cooled melted butter, stirring until the butter forms small clumps.

  • Add the buttermilk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated and butter pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Using a greased 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop a level amount of batter and drop onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave 1 1/2 inches between the drops.

  • Bake until crisp and golden, about 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Makes 8 to 10 biscuits
