Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add the chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary to the dough. Gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
  7. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  8. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Gather any remaining dough scraps and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
  10. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite jam!
