Herb Biscuits
These simple homemade herb biscuits are delicious when served warm with lots of butter and a drizzle of sweet honey. If you have never made biscuits, you'll love how easy they are!
Servings: 8 biscuits
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup cold butter cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- ¾ cup cold milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone liner.
- In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add cold butter into the flour and toss to coat each butter piece. Using a pastry blender blend the butter into the flour until the flour has pea sized pieces of butter throughout.
- Mix in the rosemary and thyme.
- Pour in the milk and stir to combine. The mixture will be very sticky.
- Flour your counter and add the dough to the dough to the counter. Add a little flour on top of the dough and flour your hands.
- Knead the dough about 10 times to bring it together. If it's too sticky add a bit more flour to the top until you can work the dough into a rectangle that is 1-1/2 inch thick.
- For my biscuits, I use a sharp knife and cut them into eight pieces, but you can use a biscuit cutter if you want.
- Add biscuits to your baking sheet, brush the tops with heavy cream and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden.
