How to cook deliciously - Best Buttery Basil Biscuits

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Sift flour, 1 tablespoon basil, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and cayenne together in a bowl. Blend in 1/2 cup butter using a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk slowly, working the dough as you add. Mix in pesto.

3 . Stage

Chill the dough for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

4 . Stage

Work the dough on a floured surface until no longer sticky. Roll to your desired thickness and cut into 12 medium biscuits using a round cookie cutter. Place on a baking sheet and spread the tops of each with about 1/3 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with remaining dried basil and salt.

5 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes, turning them over after 10 minutes have passed so that the top browns a little too.
