Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup whole milk

1 large egg

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.

      Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and parsley until evenly distributed.

        Incorporate Butter: Add the cubed cold butter into the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

          Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.

            Combine Mixtures: Pour the milk and egg mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's fine if there are a few lumps.

              Drop Dough: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm. Enjoy your delicious cheddar and herb drop biscuits!
