Time 40m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 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.
Transfer mixture to a floured surface; with floured hands, pat to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut dough into 16 rounds, dipping cutter in flour to prevent sticking. Sprinkle tops lightly with flour.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet, 1 inch apart; bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
