In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and berbere spice.
Cut in butter until it looks like coarse crumbs then mix in basil and cheese.
Incorporate buttermilk half at a time until a dough forms.
Evenly spread the dough on a floured surface and cut into 1-1/2” biscuits.

Notes
You can cut them to any size you like. Add time to baking if you make them larger - keep an eye on them!
