These Herb Biscuits are fluffy, buttery, and packed with fresh rosemary, thyme, and Parmesan cheese for a savory twist. Perfect as a comforting side or snack, they feature a tender crumb with a golden, garlicky crust, made effortlessly in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp minced fresh thyme

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk

Topping

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
  • 1 garlic clove (pressed, for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese (topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Garlic Butter: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter and pressed garlic, setting it aside to use later as a flavorful topping.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, coarse salt, sugar, Parmesan cheese, minced rosemary, and minced thyme until well combined.
  3. Cut in Cold Butter: Chop the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry mixture. Using a mixer on low speed or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring small, pea-sized pieces of butter remain.
  4. Add Buttermilk and Form Dough: Pour the cold buttermilk into the center of the crumb mixture. Mix gently on low speed until just combined and the dough becomes sticky, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Knead and Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, sprinkle a little flour on top, and knead it gently 5-6 times by folding it over itself. Pat the dough into a ½ inch thick circle, taking care not to overhandle.
  6. Cut Biscuits: Using a 2 to 2 ½ inch cookie cutter, cut out biscuits, placing them spaced about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Rework scraps minimally into a ball and repeat the cutting process until all dough is used.
  7. Apply Topping and Bake: Brush each biscuit generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle additional herbs and Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  8. Finish with Garlic Butter: Once removed from the oven, immediately drip or brush more garlic butter over each biscuit while still warm for an extra burst of flavor and a glossy finish.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and buttermilk to achieve flaky, tender biscuits.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to avoid tough biscuits.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs with 1 tsp each of dried rosemary and thyme if fresh aren’t available.
  • For a sharper flavor, increase the amount of Parmesan cheese slightly.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to revive crispness.
