Sift dry ingredients together. Cut butter into tablespoons and, with a
pastry blender, blend into dry ingredients until texture is that of
cornmeal. Stir parsley, chives, and oregano/thyme with 1/2 cup buttermilk
into beaten egg and add mixture to flour mixture. Stir quickly, adding
remainder of buttermilk as necessary until dough forms a ball. Turn onto
floured surface and knead once. Let dough rest for a minute, then roll out
to 3/4″ thickness. Cut into 2″ rounds. Place biscuits on buttered baking
sheet, 1″ apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
