Easy Herb Biscuits

Ingredients

• 320 grams all purpose flour (2 2/3 cups - see recipe notes)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs (see recipe notes)
• 1/2 cup COLD unsalted butter, cut into 1/2″ cubes
• 1 cup milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and herbs.

3. 3

   Add cold cubed butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour mixture until mixture is coarse and has small butter pieces throughout. Work quickly so the butter stays cold!

4. 4

   Add milk and stir until just combined. The dough will be shaggy, but not too sticky, and won’t all hold together yet - that’s fine!

5. 5

   Turn dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board. If the dough is too sticky, gently fold in some extra flour a Tablespoon or two at a time.

6. 6

   Fold the dough over on itself a few times (I like to fold it in half, gently pat it out a bit, and fold it in half again). This gives you lots of layers for maximum flakiness.

7. 7

   Pat dough to roughly 1-inch thick and cut biscuit rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.

8. 8

   Place biscuit rounds on a sheet pan lined with a nonstick baking mat. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned. Serve immediately.
