Buttermilk Thyme Drop Biscuits

Everyday Food, 2005
Makes 8 biscuits.

    2 cups flour spooned, leveled                                  
    1 tablespoon chop fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried                  
    1 tablespoon baking powder                                     
    3/4 teaspoon salt                                              
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda                                       
    4 tablespoons cold unsalt butter cut to pieces                 
    1 cup buttermilk + more if needed      
                       
PREP TIME 5 MINUTES/TOTAL TIME: 25 MINUTES

Preheat oven to 425°; In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a fork, pastry blender, or your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Mix in buttermilk until a sticky dough forms: you may need to add up to 1 tablespoon more buttermilk.
Drop 8 mounds (each a scant 1/3 cup) onto a nonstick baking sheet; lightly pat tops to flatten slightly.
Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.

MY NOTE: Okay to make in food processor.
