Whole Wheat Pesto Biscuits
Hunter and Anderson enjoying their "Biscuit Fisto's" |
Am I the only one who
has kiddos in your life that LOVE Star wars?
My nephews wanted to make multiple items from The Star Wars Cookbook,
and after having made the carrot top pesto, we used it to make Kit Fisto
Biscuits. (Honestly, I have no idea who
Kit Fisto was, but my oldest nephew made sure to come read to me about him – an
apparent Green-skin colored Jedi. Don’t
worry – I put a summary page about him at the end of this page.)
This recipe was a
great way to use leftover biscuits and the boys kept asking for more. It’s not only flavorful, but using your own
cookie cutters make it fun!
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose
flour, plus some for dusting the work surface
2 teaspoons baking
powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter (or vegetable
shortening)
½ cup basil pesto
¾ cup buttermilk, at
room temperature
Directions:
Pulse the 2 cups
flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the food processor once or twice
to blend.
Add the butter (or
shortening), pesto, and food coloring and pulse until the mixture resembles
coarse crumbs.
Add the buttermilk and pulse until the dough just holds together.
Turn the dough onto a
lightly floured surface. Knead gently 10-12 times. Pat until the dough is ½ inch thick.
Place the biscuits on
a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
