4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons each minced fresh sage and thyme
3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/4 cups ice water

Steps:

In a food processor, pulse all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), baking powder, and coarse salt. Add minced fresh sage and thyme; pulse until combined. Add cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces; pulse until mixture is the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces butter remaining. Add 1 cup ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (add up to 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead just until dough comes together, 4 to 5 times.
