Best Buttery Basil Biscuits image

This is an amazing recipe for biscuits! I recommend serving these as an appetizer with smoked salmon, lemon, and capers. These biscuits can be served with about every meal, the butter on top and inside make them soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Place in an airtight container if you have one to preserve them longer. Enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons dried basil, divided, or to taste
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup butter
½ cup milk, or more as needed
⅓ teaspoon pesto
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Chill the dough for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • 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.
  • 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.
