Parmesan-Basil Biscuits

This is another recipe that was in the 2008 Weight Watchers cookbook that I've played around with. These are good leftover toasted.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 8 biscuits

Ingredients

• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3  tablespoons  chilled butter, cut into small pieces
• 1⁄3 cup  shredded parmesan cheese
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh basil or 1  teaspoon dried basil
• 1⁄2 cup low-fat buttermilk

• 1  tablespoon  finely shredded fresh parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a bowl.
3. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Stir in 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese and basil.
5. Add buttermilk, stirring just until moist.
6. Spoon dough evenly into 8 mounds on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
7. Lightly coat tops of biscuits with cooking spray (I used a butter flavored spray) and sprinkle with finely shredded Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
9. Serve immediately.
