- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped rosemary.
- In a large bowl, mix together the biscuit mix, parmesan cheese, and the remaining garlic.
- Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter, roughly 1.5 ounces each, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes, then brush or drizzle them with the melted butter mixture.
