2 Tbsp. minced fresh herbs (such as oregano, savory, rosemary, marjoram and parsley)
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup butter
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

In separate bowl, mix egg and buttermilk together; add liquid to dry ingredients. Mix until soft dough forms.
