Chew on This | Rosemary Cheddar Drop Biscuits

I made these drop biscuits for Thanksgiving and just can't seem to get enough of them. They are perfectly savory. And they're pretty too, in a misshaped sort of way. Bits of orange cheddar. Flecks of green rosemary. What's not to like?

I love biscuits of all types. Drop biscuits are the easiest to make but take a light hand. Over mixing your batter will result in a tough biscuit nugget. No good. You want light and airy and to get that you need to just fold the ingredients together. Only mixing until a very loose ball of dough is formed.

Now place non-uniform, heaping spoonfuls of batter onto your baking sheet and bake. That's it. And that's the beauty and ease of drop biscuits - no fussiness. 

You'll be baking these often. And then you'll be trading out the cheddar and rosemary for something else, like parmesan and sage or swiss and crumbled bacon. You're going to love it.
