If there’s anything better than a nice biscuit, it’s an easy-to-make biscuit. Drop cookies come very handy here. They’re easy to put together and don’t require any rolling or cutting. While some people like perfectly round buttermilk biscuits, the height and flavor of drop biscuits more than compensate.

This recipe combines cheddar cheese and dried rosemary for a flavor that elevates the dining table to a whole new level.
These are the simplest biscuits to prepare. Simply combine the dry ingredients before incorporating the butter. I use a pastry knife, which has the added benefit of not only crushing and mixing the butter into the flour, but also slightly chopping up the rosemary pieces.
This means that none of the larger rosemary pieces remain in the batter, making the biscuits simpler to consume in the end. For this recipe, I highly recommend using a pastry knife!

Drop Biscuits with Rosemary and Cheddar
INGREDIENTS
2 cups regular flour
1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. dried rosemary
a half teaspoon garlic powder
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 granulated sugar teaspoon
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk 1/2 cup (4 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of the cheese, the rosemary, the garlic powder, the baking powder, the sugar, salt, and pepper.
Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture forms. Fold in the buttermilk with a rubber spatula until the dough just holds together.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto a baking sheet that has been greased or lined. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top, with the remaining cheese.
