Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cut into pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (plus extra if needed)
  • Additional butter for brushing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and black pepper. Mix them well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

  3. Incorporate Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, incorporate the pieces of cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture. Work it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with the butter pieces about the size of small peas.

  4. Add Herbs and Buttermilk: Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, thyme, and sage into the flour-butter mixture. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, mixing just until the ingredients come together to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With your hands, gently press the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick.

  6. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a floured glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the cut biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.

  7. Reshape and Repeat: Gather the remaining dough scraps, gently reshape them, and continue cutting out biscuits until all the dough is used.

  8. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a small amount of melted butter. This will help them achieve a golden-brown crust as they bake.

  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown on top and cooked through.

  10. Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with additional pats of butter or your favorite cheese spread, if desired.

  11. Note: These biscuits can be made ahead of time and reheated easily. You can also underbake them slightly, freeze, and then finish baking them in the oven whenever you’re ready to enjoy them again.

These Herbed Buttermilk Biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or alongside your favorite soups and stews.
