Parmesan Butter Pan Biscuits

I made a half recipe of these easy biscuits – they were perfect with soup.  I used a bench knife to cut them into strips.  The butter browned in the pan and made them taste good as well as look good. 

Parmesan Butter Pan Biscuits

     1/3  Cup  Butter

  2 1/4  Cups  Flour, All-purpose

  2          Tablespoons  Parmesan Cheese -- grated

  1          Tablespoon  Sugar

  3 1/2  Teaspoons  Baking Powder

  1         Teaspoon  Basil Leaves

  1         Tablespoon  Parsley -- fresh, chopped

  1         Cup  Milk

Heat oven to 400°.  In 9" square baking pan, melt butter in oven 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine all ingredients except milk.  Stir in milk just until moistened. 

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, knead 10 times or until smooth.

Roll dough into 12 x 4" rectangle.  Cut into twelve 1" strips.  Dip each strip into melted butter.  Place in same pan in 2 rows of 6.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned.
