Ingredients: 

You can make your own rosemary biscuits by combining the ingredients below.

• Flour – This is the foundation of the recipe. Simple flour is all you need.
• Baking Powder – This ingredient helps the biscuits rise. It’s an important instrument in baking.
• Seasoning – Salt and rosemary add to the flavor profile.
• Milk – If you happen to have half and half on hand, you can substitue if need be.
• Cold Butter – Usually recipes ask for melted butter, but this one needs cubed cold butter. It’s important for the consistency.

Optional Add Ons

• Ground Pepper
• Honey
• Parmesan Cheese
• Fresh Garlic
• Onion
• Olive
• Apricot
• Lemon
• Orange
• Chopped Bacon
• Oregano
• Basil
• Sage
• Parsley
• Nutmeg
• Thyme

Directions: 

To remove Rosemary from the stem, hold it at one end and slide your fingers down the stem, moving against the growth of the leaves. The leaves should pop off. 

Preheat oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
Place flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary into a food processor and process for 10 seconds. Add butter and process for an additional 10 seconds. 

Turn on the food processor and process as you slowly pour milk into the flour mixture. Once milk is all poured in, stop processing. This should take no more than 10 seconds. 

Remove from food processor and knead onto a lightly floured surface (you may not have to add flour as the mixture may seem a little dry). Knead for only 8 times.

Over kneading will cause your biscuits to be flat. See photo above. Roll into a 1/2″ circle and using a 2-1/2″ biscuit cutter, cut into 12 rounds.

Place onto a prepared baking sheet, about 1″ apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned.  Serve warm.

This recipe makes 12 biscuits. 

FAQs

1. Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh in my biscuits?
   • Yes, you can use dried rosemary if fresh isn’t available. However, use a smaller quantity of dried rosemary, as it is more concentrated in flavor. Typically, a teaspoon of dried rosemary can replace a tablespoon of fresh rosemary.
2. What can I serve with rosemary biscuits?
   • Rosemary biscuits pair well with a variety of dishes. They are great with soups, stews, roasted meats, and even as a side for breakfast with butter or jam. They add a savory and aromatic element to your meal.
3. How long do rosemary biscuits stay fresh?
   • Rosemary biscuits are best when freshly baked, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. To extend their freshness, you can freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes when ready to serve.
4. Can I make rosemary biscuits ahead of time?
   • Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough ahead of time and refrigerate it. When ready to bake, simply roll out the dough, cut into biscuits, and bake. This is a convenient option if you want to have freshly baked biscuits without the entire preparation process.
5. What other herbs can I combine with rosemary in biscuits?
   • Rosemary pairs well with herbs like thyme, sage, and oregano. Experiment with different herb combinations to find a flavor profile that suits your taste. A blend of rosemary and thyme is a popular choice for a savory and aromatic biscuit.
6. Can I make rosemary biscuits without butter for a healthier option?
   • Yes, you can use alternatives like vegetable oil or a non-dairy spread for a healthier version. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly, but it’s a viable option if you’re looking to reduce the butter content.
7. Are rosemary biscuits suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet?
   • Yes, you can adapt rosemary biscuit recipes for vegetarian or vegan diets by using plant-based milk and a non-dairy butter substitute. Check other ingredients like baking powder to ensure they are vegan-friendly.
