Ingredients
To create your Herb Buttermilk Biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or thyme), finely chopped
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Follow these steps to prepare your Herb Buttermilk Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until well incorporated.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the finely chopped herbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk and honey (if using). Stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it is smooth. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any 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 on top.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Herb Buttermilk Biscuits are not only delicious but also versatile. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite dishes. Happy baking!
