Pull-Apart Garlic-Herb Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, rosemary, salt, ½ cup of the parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of the chives.

Step 2

In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the flour, stirring until just combined.

Step 3

Add the butter to a 4 ½-by-8 ½-inch loaf pan and warm in the oven until the butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off 1 tablespoon butter into a small bowl and reserve. Add the garlic to the remaining melted butter in the pan. Add the biscuit batter and spread into an even layer. (It’s okay if some butter pools on top of the loaf.) Using a large metal spatula, insert it vertically and press straight down through the batter to the bottom of the pan to cut it into 8 to 10 portions. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan.

Step 4

Bake the loaf until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden, 40 to 45 minutes.

Step 5

Allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Re-melt the reserved butter if necessary in a microwave. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of chives and brush the herb butter all over the loaf.
