Basil Pepper Biscuits 1/4 cup shortening 2 cups all-purpose flour OR 2 cups whole wheat flour 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil OR 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves 1 tablespoon sugar -- if desired 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 3/4 cup milk (about) Heat oven to 450º. Cut shortening into remaining ingredients except milk in medium bowl with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in just enough milk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. (Too much milk will make dough sticky; not enough will make biscuits dry.) Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 20 to 25 times. Roll or pat 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart for crusty sides, touching for soft sides. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
