Pesto Biscuits

Pesto Biscuits

Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening
1/4 cup pesto
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk (about)

Directions:
Grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 450º. Cut shortening and pesto into flour, baking powder and
salt with pastry blender in large bowl until mixture resembles fine
crumbs. Stir in just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a
ball.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat.
Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2
1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie
sheet. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from
cookie sheet. Serve hot.
