Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup buttermilk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons optional: melted butter 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, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, and thyme to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the mixture.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself in thirds (as if folding a letter) and pat it out again. Repeat this process 2–3 times to create layers for extra flaky biscuits.
Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Re-roll the scraps of dough, being careful not to overwork it, and cut out additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
