Fresh Herb Drop Biscuits with Black Pepper (Print-Friendly Version)

These spooned biscuits combine cold salted butter with thyme, parsley and chives. The original formula contains a full tablespoon of black pepper, which makes a distinctly peppery batch. There is no rolling or cutting stage; mix a soft dough and portion it directly onto the tray.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder

03 - 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper

→ Fat

04 - ½ cup cold salted butter, cut into pieces

→ Herbs

05 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

06 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

07 - 2 tablespoons chopped chives

→ Liquid

08 - ¾ cup whole milk or buttermilk

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat the oven to 400°F.

02 - Line a large baking sheet. Whisk flour, baking powder and the chosen amount of pepper, then distribute the chopped herbs.

03 - Cut in cold salted butter using a pastry cutter or forks until crumbly, and gently stir in milk just until the dough holds together.

04 - Alternatively, pulse the dry ingredients and butter in a processor, briefly add herbs, then pulse in milk only until combined; do not perform both mixing methods.

05 - Drop similar-size mounds with two spoons, leaving gaps, and bake about 20–25 minutes until lightly golden with baked centers; cool briefly before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - That is the supplied quantity, not a teaspoon conversion.

02 - No.
