Description

These Fresh Herb Buttermilk Biscuits are the ultimate comfort food, offering a perfect balance of flaky layers and tender crumb. The tangy buttermilk reacts with the baking powder and soda to create a light, airy rise, while the cold butter ensures distinct, buttery flakes. A generous mix of fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and thyme infuses every bite with aromatic freshness, elevating this classic Southern staple. They are wonderfully versatile, serving as a perfect side for hearty stews, a vessel for savory fillings, or simply enjoyed warm with honey or jam. Easy to prepare with pantry staples, these biscuits bring a rustic, homemade charm to any breakfast, brunch, or dinner table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Lightly butter a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  4. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the beaten egg, buttermilk, and chopped fresh herbs.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just begins to come together. Add a splash more buttermilk if the dough is too dry, but do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 4 to 6 times to form a cohesive ball. Do not overwork.
  7. Pat or roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
  8. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
  9. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  11. Serve immediately while warm.
