Lynn's Presto Biscuits

2 c All-purpose flour 
3 tbs Buttermilk powder or -nonfat dry milk powder 
2 tesp Baking powder 
1/2 tesp Baking soda 
1/4 tesp Salt 
1/3 c Shortening 
2 tbs Homemade or -purchased pesto 
2/3 c 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.

You have not done enough, you have never done enough, so long as it is still possible that you have something to contribute.
