Herb Biscuits

I found this recipe back in 2005 in Everyday Food magazine.  You know how it is when you see a recipe you want to make but forget about it.  That’s what happened to this one so I’m glad I finally get to enjoy it and I hope you do too.

Ingredients

2
cups all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1
tablespoon baking powder
3/4
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
4
tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1
cup buttermilk, plus more if needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, baking powder, salt and baking soda.  Using a fork, pastry blender, or your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Mix in buttermilk until a sticky dough forms; you may need to add up to 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.

Drop 8 mounds (each about 1/3 cups) onto a nonstick baking sheet; lightly pat tops to flatten slightly.

Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.  Serve warm.
