Mis En Place
▢ Silicone spatula ▢ ½ tsp measure ▢ 2 cup measure ▢ Large Mixing Bowl ▢ Whisk
Instructions Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a fork or masher, grind butter into the dry mix. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Small BB to pellet sized chunks are fine. Whisk diced herbs into the dry mix. Fold cheese and buttermilk into dough. Mix until ugly. Bake at 450 for 12-15m until golden brown.
Thank you!
My version I melt the butter (lazy I know) but also don't use parsley or thyme. I'll give that a shot!
IMO the thyme is really important. I usually buy fresh thyme for these.
Melting the butter will make more uniform biscuits. Leaving it chunked will give you more variation in size and rise. Otherwise, they should taste the same. Same concept with muffins. Ugly batter is preferable for this reason :)
