Parmesan Basil Biscuits

I first saw the recipe for these biscuits in a Taste of Home cookbook full of lighter recipes. I chose to make these out of all of the biscuit recipes because they were the only ones that didn't have to rise, and I was short on time. These biscuits are super easy to make and make a great addition to any meal. Enjoy!
