Rosemary Pepper Drop Biscuits
Description
These Rosemary Pepper Drop Biscuits mix all-purpose flour with baking powder, salt, sugar, dried rosemary, and cracked black pepper. Cold, salted butter is incorporated until the mixture resembles damp sand, then just enough milk is added to form a thick dough. The dough is portioned and baked at 400ºF until the biscuits develop a golden crust on the outside. The dried rosemary imparts a piney herbal aroma while the black pepper offers a gentle heat and flavor contrast.
The resulting crumb is soft and slightly flaky, ideal to serve alongside soups, stews, or breakfast dishes. Their drop shape lends a rustic look and easy preparation without rolling or cutting. These biscuits bring an herbaceous and mildly spicy note to traditional biscuit flavors, making them versatile for everyday meals or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.21
- 2 tsp baking powder $0.08
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.03
- 1 tsp rosemary $0.10, dried
- 1/2 tsp black pepper $0.03, freshly cracked
- 1 tsp sugar $0.02
- 8 Tbsp butter $0.88, cold, salted
- 1 cup milk $0.33
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Roughly chop or crush the rosemary to prevent large, sharp pieces. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, rosemary, pepper, sugar) until well combined.
- Take the butter out of the refrigerator just prior to using it. Slice the butter into pieces, then add them to the dry ingredients. Work the butter into the flour mixture until no large pieces remain and it looks a little like damp sand. I use my hands for this, but you can also use a pastry cutter.
- Starting with 3/4 cup, add just enough milk to moisten the mixture into a thick, slightly sticky dough (see photos below). There should be no dry flour left on the bottom of the bowl, but the dough should not be so wet that it appears glossy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop 8 dollops of the biscuit dough onto the paper (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup each).
- Bake the biscuits in the fully preheated 400ºF oven for 18-22 minutes or until they are golden brown on the edges. Serve warm.
