Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 and 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and herbs. Pulse 2-3 times to combine. Scatter butter over dry ingredients and pulse 5-6 times or until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Do not overmix. Add the buttermilk and again pulse until it just begins to come together.
Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a large rectangle approximately 3/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press together scraps of dough and continue cutting out rounds until all the dough is used up. Don’t mess with the dough too much though, work quickly as you don’t want to warm it up too much.
Buttery and rich but with the fresh taste of herbs to cut through and add a little life. Perfect!
