Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare your baking sheet.
- Measure the salad oil and milk together in the same cup, but do not mix them.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the oil and milk mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined to form a soft dough.
- Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, consider sifting the flour before measuring. If you don't have salad oil, you can substitute with melted butter or vegetable oil. To make these biscuits lighter, you can also replace half of the milk with buttermilk. Keep in mind that overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so mix just until combined.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful served warm with butter and jam or honey. They also pair beautifully with savory dishes, such as soups and stews, or can be enjoyed alongside breakfast items like eggs and bacon. For a unique twist, try serving them with a side of Yogurt-Cucumber Vegetable Dip(Lo-Cal) for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply scoop the dough onto the baking sheet and bake as instructed. This can save time on busy mornings or when hosting guests.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you're out of milk, you can use almond milk, soy milk, or any non-dairy milk as a substitute. For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk or yogurt mixed with a little water to achieve the right consistency. Just ensure that the alternative is unsweetened.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and have a slightly firm texture. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the biscuits are fully baked. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-baking.
