Recipe by Grace Parisi from Perfecting Biscuits, published in F&W magazine, November 2007 edition. The unbaked biscuits can be frozen: freeze biscuits in a single layer and transfer to resealable plastic bag for up to one month. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the cooking time. The herb-and-cheese combination is infinitely variable - try cheddar and minced chives or chopped rosemary and Parmesan.;)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
- In a large shallow bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt.
- Add the chilled butter and use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour until it is the size of peas.
- Add the chopped thyme and sage, and the Gruyere.
- Stir in the buttermilk just until the dough is moistened.
- Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
- Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead 2 or 3 times, just until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick disk.
- Using a floured 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out biscuit rounds as closely together as possible.
- Gather the scraps and knead them together 2 or 3 times, then flatten the dough and stamp out more biscuit rounds.
- Pat the remaining scraps together and gently press them into a biscuit.
- Transfer the biscuits to a large baking sheet and brush the tops with the melted butter.
- Lightly sprinkle the biscuits with a few grains of flaky salt and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
