Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups buttermilk (cold)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons flour (for dusting the surface)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter visible.

Step 4

Gently stir the chopped parsley, chives, and thyme into the mixture, distributing the herbs evenly.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour the cold buttermilk into it. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until the dough just comes together—avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough onto it. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Fold the dough in half, then in half again (like a book) to create flaky layers. Pat it back out to a 1-inch thickness, being careful not to overwork it.

Step 8

Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press straight down without twisting the cutter for the best rise.

Step 9

Gather the scraps, gently reshape, and cut out additional biscuits as needed.

Step 10

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

If desired, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for added flavor and a soft finish.

Step 12

Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal. Enjoy!
