Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they are fully combined, ensuring an even distribution of the leavening agents.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, your fingers, or two forks, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces remaining. This step is crucial for creating flaky biscuits.

        Add Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the grated sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped chives, and parsley until they are well distributed throughout the dough.

          Incorporate Buttermilk: Gradually pour the buttermilk into the mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

            Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently for about 10 seconds, just until it comes together. Flatten the dough into a rectangle that is about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, and reroll any leftover dough as needed to create more biscuits.

              Bake: Arrange the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 1 inch apart for even baking. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen nicely.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm for the best experience, and don’t forget to try them with honey butter or your favorite spread for an extra touch of flavor!
