Time 40m

Yield Makes 9 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for serving
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, plus more for serving
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Sliced ham, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda for 30 seconds. Toss butter into dry mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers to create flower-petal shapes and return to bowl. Stir in herbs.
  • Whisk mustard into buttermilk, then slowly drizzle over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to center of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten it into a 6-by-10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into a 6-inch square.
  • To keep things easy, form the dough on the same tray it's baked on. Cut it into thirds in both directions with a large, sharp knife, to form 9 biscuits. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel-lined basket; cover to keep warm. Serve with mustard and ham.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to use cold butter. This will help the biscuits stay flaky and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense and doughy.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

Herb buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch item. They're perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these fluffy, flaky biscuits in no time.
