Herbed Biscuits - Testing

1 - I think this makes 10 scones of 1/2 cup of dough each. I think these would be best with just herbs and keeping it simple.

2 - I made 12 scones of just under 100gr which worked out well. I used 1 Tbsp of fresh minced thyme, and I think I can bump that up to 2 Tbsps.

3 - Yeah, I really like these. I added nothing and they are still good.

4 cups, 3 Tbsps. (510g) flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

¾ tsp baking soda

1½ tsp salt

1 Tbsp, 1½ tsps. sugar

½ cup butter (4oz/114gr) 

2 cups buttermilk

OPTIONAL - add herbs, cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, etc.

1. Mix together all the dry ingredients.
2. Pinch in the butter until the mixture has the texture of coarse sand.
3. Just until it's combined, mix in the buttermilk. Too much mixing will make the crumb too tough.
4. Measure out 95gr of batter for each biscuit and place on a cookie sheet 2" apart.
5. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes or until golden on top.
