Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
- 0.75 cups buttermilk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the chopped parsley and chives to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the mixture.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk and honey (if using). Stir gently with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half over itself and pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create layers that will result in flaky biscuits.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired.
