Fresh herb buttermilk biscuits

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups All-purpose flour
1½ tablespoon Double-acting baking powder
¾ teaspoon Baking soda
¾ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
¾ cup Butter -- cold
1 Egg -- slightly beaten
¾ cup Buttermilk
½ cup Fresh herbs -- * see note

Directions

Sift dry ingredients together. Cut butter into tablespoons and, with a pastry blender, blend into dry ingredients until texture is that of cornmeal. Stir parsley, chives, and oregano/thyme with ½ cup buttermilk into beaten egg and add mixture to flour mixture. Stir quickly, adding remainder of buttermilk as necessary until dough forms a ball. Turn onto floured surface and knead once. Let dough rest for a minute, then roll out to ¾" thickness. Cut into 2" rounds. Place biscuits on buttered baking sheet, 1" apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
