Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.0 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.75 cups buttermilk
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh herbs, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps of butter remaining.
  • Gently fold in the chopped fresh herbs, mixing just until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk and honey (if using) together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then pour in the buttermilk mixture.
  • Stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently about 3-4 times, just until it forms a cohesive dough. Avoid over-kneading.
  • Pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, gently re-pat the dough, and cut out remaining biscuits.
  • Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra herb butter or your favorite spreads. Enjoy!

Notes

For added sweetness, honey can be included optionally.
