2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup cold salted butter, cut into pieces

1 tablespoon fresh thyme
06 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
07 -
2 tablespoons chopped chives

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or apply nonstick spray. Set aside.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and black pepper. Add thyme, parsley, and chives, stirring to combine.

04 -
Gradually stir in the milk with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
05 -
For food processor preparation, pulse together flour, baking powder, and black pepper. Add butter and pulse until crumbly. Add herbs and pulse briefly. Slowly add milk, pulsing until fully integrated but not overmixed.

Using two spoons, drop dough in ball shapes onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave adequate space between biscuits as they will spread during baking.

Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the exterior is lightly golden.

Serve warm, plain or accompanied by butter or herb butter.
# Additional Notes:
