Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in milk and rosemary, and mix together into a soft dough. On a lightly floured board, roll out ½" thick. Cut into 14-15 1 ½" circles or squares and place close together on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Turn on the oven to 350 and let it heat while you scrub a pound of potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise, then cut into quarter-inch slices. Mince three garlic cloves and put them into a quarter cup of olive oil, along with a half-teaspoon salt and a couple of twists of pepper. Toss the potatoes with the oil. Put them into a baking dish and sprinkle on 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 2 teaspoons of crumbled dried leaves. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then take off the cover, stir, and bake for another 20 minutes, until the potatoes are nicely browned. This will serve four people. or 20 minutes. Serve hot.
