Easy doesn’t even begin to describe how simple this biscuit recipe is. Herbs and cheese and butter do all of the heavy lifting here to make the biscuits yummy and savory, and milk ensures that the final product is tender and moist. Here’s how to make everyone’s favorite biscuit in 3 quick steps:

1. Make the dough. 30 pulses in the food processor later....

2. Bake the dough! Well, split it into ten biscuits and then bake it.

3. Brush the biscuits with melted, herby butter. Ooooh yeah. If there’s a “secret” to why cheddar bay biscuits are so good, it’s this—they’re dripping with butter, both in the dough and on top.
