Rosemary & Olive Oil Biscuits

Have you ever had a taste for something? And you've eaten this and that but it just doesn't hit the spot? That's been my issue lately. I've had a rosemary craving. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it is what it is. I wanted something with rosemary. For a while I didn't care what it was. I put rosemary on meat. Then I wanted rosemary bread. I decided to indulge in a turkey sandwich on rosemary bread, but it didn't do it for me. Then since the holidays were coming I thought I would try make some southern drop biscuits but with rosemary and oil. That was another fail.

Of course, if at first you don't succeed try again. And so I did. This recipe is very similar to a muffin recipe I make. I was excited when I first took it out of the oven. I was expecting this savory muffin the would be fluffy and fall apart like a perfect muffin would. But first it had to be approved. My excitement was short lived when my husband told me I couldn't call it a muffin. I had gone through all of these failed attempts and I was so sure I had gotten it right this time. I was actually going for more of a muffin texture, that why I added sour cream. But in the end it didn't work out. Oh well, I'll tweak the recipe a bit and see what happens. Despite that, I love this recipe. It tastes great. And so, I'm keeping it.

Just for kicks, I'm going to slice this baby in half and put a sausage patty with egg and cheese on it. That should be good. How are you going to eat your biscuit?
