In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Cut the cold butter into half-inch chunks and place in the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend into the dry ingredients until the mixture is like course meal.
Stir the sage/savory and cheese into the mixture.
In a separate bowl, break the egg and lightly beat. Add in the buttermilk and mix. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients and stir quickly until a dough ball forms.
Place the dough ball on a flour surface and knead a few times, then let it rest for a minute.
Roll out the dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a 2 inch round cookie cutter (or the top of a 2 in glass) to cut out circles.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
