Oven-Baked Cheddar and Herb Biscuits

Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. Add Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Mix in Cheese and Herbs
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and parsley until evenly distributed within the flour mixture.

5. Incorporate Buttermilk
Gradually add the buttermilk to the mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the dough.

6. Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out the biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed.

7. Bake
Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Finishing Touch
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a shiny finish.

9. Cool and Serve
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm for the best experience.
