Preparation Time: 0:40
Sift dry ingredients together. Cut butter into
tablespoons and, with a pastry blender, blend into dry
ingredients until texture is that of cornmeal. Stir
parsley, chives, and oregano/thyme with 1/2 cup
buttermilk into beaten egg and add mixture to flour
mixture. Stir quickly, adding remainder of buttermilk
as necessary until dough forms a ball. Turn onto
floured surface and knead once. Let dough rest for a
minute, then roll out to 3/4" thickness. Cut into 2"
rounds. Place biscuits on buttered baking sheet, 1"
apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until
golden brown.
