# Steps to Follow:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a nonstick spray, and set aside.
02 -
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pepper. Add thyme, parsley, and chives to the flour mixture and blend until combined. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor to blend it into the flour mixture until a crumbly texture forms. Gradually add in the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
03 -
For food processor preparation, add the flour, baking powder, and black pepper into the processor bowl. Pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse until crumbly. Incorporate the herbs and pulse a few times, then slowly add the milk and pulse until well blended. Avoid overmixing the dough.
04 -
Using two spoons, drop the dough in balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave room between the biscuits as they will spread during baking.
05 -
Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is slightly golden. Serve warm with butter or herb butter.
# Additional Notes:

Avoid overmixing the dough to ensure tender biscuits.
