2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp.salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large egg
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. fresh snipped chives
1 tbsp. fresh chopped basil leaves
1 tsp. coarsely chopped fresh thyme, or oregano leaves

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the flour, baking powder,
Parmesan, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Stir to mix well. In
another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, egg, lemon juice, garlic,
chives, and herbs until well blended. Scrape the herb mixture into
flour mixture. Stir with a large wooden spoon until a soft dough
forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured board and knead
gently 10-15 times. Pat the dough gently into a ball and cut in
half. Place both halves on a cookie sheet and pat each into an
8-9 inch round. Cut each circle into 8 wedges with a serrated
knife; do not separate wedges. Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly
browned. Put on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Cover loosely
in a clean, cry dish towel on the rack and cool at least 15-20
minutes more before serving.
