Olive Oil and Herb Biscuits

The week before Christmas, I made some biscuits using a popular, boxed biscuit mix.  I was super disappointed in them.  They were not very yummy.  I was worried because I had been planning to make these homemade olive oil and herb biscuits for my family for Christmas dinner.  Would they be any better than the boxed mix?  Oh, they were!  They were fluffy and fragrant, and they were the perfect accompaniment to our ham and mashed sweet potatoes.

Olive Oil and Herb Biscuits

1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.  In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in rosemary.  Add the milk and olive oil.  Mix just until combined.
