Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk (preferably whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your 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, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, and thyme leaves to evenly distribute the herbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Use a wooden spoon to mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
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 biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your easy herb biscuits warm with butter or your favorite spread!
