Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add ½ cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 8 ounces of freshly grated Gruyere cheese and ½ cup of chopped fresh herbs. Mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 cup of sour cream. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  7. Step 7: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
  8. Step 8: Transfer the cut biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Step 9: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite spread!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties.
