Some
days a weeknight dinner needs a “little something”...
Chili,
a hearty soup, an old-fashioned stew are all wonderful comfort foods.
Adding some hot biscuits on the side makes a good meal great.
The
best part about this recipe is that it doesn't
use butter. (I hate cutting in butter!) Instead, it uses vegetable
oil (canola, corn oil, whatever...). It also uses less
oil than most recipes you find when you google - a modification I've
made after trying a number of recipes over the years. Using oil
speeds up the preparation. These biscuits are ready before the oven's warmed up!
A
Great Little Biscuit
2
cups all purpose flour
4
teaspoons baking powder
2
tablespoons sugar
1/2
teaspoon salt
Mix
together.
1/4
cup vegetable oil
3/4
cup milk
Add
to dry ingredients and hand stir just
until combined.
Turn
out onto a floured surface.
With
floured hands, gently pat out (3/4 inch thick).
Cut
out round biscuits, triangles or squares.
Bake
for 15 minutes at 425ºF (ungreased cookie sheet).
Note:
If
you wish, add about 1/2 – 3/4 cup raisins, craisins or grated
cheese. Makes about one dozen biscuits.
Have
a good weekend!
