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