Rosemary Cheddar Drop Biscuits

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, divided

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup (4 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed

1 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 450˚F. In a large bowl whisk together flour, 1 cup of cheese, rosemary, garlic powder, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Cut butter into dry ingredient using a pastry cutter or 2 forks until crumbly mixture forms. Using a rubber spatula gently fold in buttermilk until dough just barely holds together.

Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto greased or lined baking sheet. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
