• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for forming biscuits (spooned and leveled)
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1⁄2 cup snipped fresh chives, thyme or 1/2 cup sage
• 2 cups cold milk

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Pulse mixture until pea-size pieces form. Through the feeding tube, add chives and milk; pulse just until combined.
3. Transfer mixture to a floured surface; with floured hands, pat to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 21/2-inch round cutter, cut dough into 16 rounds, dipping cutter in flour to prevent sticking. Sprinkle tops lightly with flour.
4. Place biscuits on a baking sheet, 1 inch apart; bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
5. To Freeze.
6. After completing step 2, place biscuits on a plate; freeze 2 hours or until firm. Transfer to re-sealable plastic bags; freeze up to 1 month. To bake from frozen: Preheat oven to 400°. Place biscuits on a baking sheet, 1 inch apart, and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
