2 cups all-purpose flour
 3 Tbsp buttermilk powder or nonfat dry milk powder
 2 tsp baking powder
 1/2 tsp baking soda
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/3 cup shortening
 2 Tbsp homemade or purchased pesto 
 2/3 cup water
 In a large bowl stir together flour, buttermilk or milk powder,
 baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  With a pastry cutter, cut
 in shortening and pesto until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
 Make a well in the center; add water all at once.  Stir in just
 until dough clings together.  Turn out onto a lightly floured
 surface.  Knead gently for 10 to 12 strokes.  Roll or pat to 1/2-inch
 thickness.  Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping cutter
 into flour between cuts.  Place biscuits on an ungreased baking
 sheet.  Bake in a 450F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
 Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.
