Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
1 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425.
In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Using a fork or pastry blender, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Mix in buttermilk until a sticky dough forms. (You may need to add up to 1 tablespoons more buttermilk.).
Drop 8 mounds (about 1/3 cup apieces) on to a nonstick baking sheet; lightly pat tops to flatten slightly.
Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Transfer to rack to cool slightly, but serve warm.
