List of Ingredients

2 cups flour
3 tablespoons buttermilk powder or nonfat milk powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
2/3 cup water



Recipe

In a large bowl stir together flour, buttermilk or milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a pastry cutter, cut in shortening and pesto until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add water all at once. Stir in just until dough clings together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter into flour between cuts. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450ºF oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.
