- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add the chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary to the dough. Gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
- Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Gather any remaining dough scraps and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite jam!
