Curry and Basil Combo

I was pleasantly surprised to find the biscuit recipe paired with the Curry Soup in the special winter issue of Clean Eating Magazine.

Basil Biscuits 

(Serves 3)

Whisk flour, basil, baking powder and salt.

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water

Fold yogurt mixture into flour mixture until just combined. 
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.  Roll 1/2-inch thick.  Cut with 2-inch biscuit cutter.  Place on parchment-line baking sheet.  Bake at 450 F. for 12-15 minutes.
