Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 475°F (very hot).
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour Wesson oil and milk into a measuring cup, but don't stir.
- Pour all at once into the flour mixture.
- Stir with a fork until the mixture clears sides of the bowl and rounds up into a ball.
- Knead the dough about 10 times without adding additional flour to smooth it.
- Place the dough on waxed paper and press out to 1/4-inch thickness with your hands for regular biscuits, or 1/2-inch for higher biscuits.
- Cut into biscuits and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the flour multiple times and ensure your baking powder is fresh. If you don't have Wesson oil, vegetable or canola oil can be used as substitutes. You can also experiment with adding herbs or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. For a sweeter touch, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the flour mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. They pair wonderfully with soups and stews, making them a great side for hearty dishes. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside Carolyn'S Heavenly, Heavenly Salad for a balanced and delightful dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before baking. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to bake them fresh.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and have risen nicely. You can also tap the top; if it sounds hollow, they are likely ready.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese or fresh herbs to the dough can enhance the flavor of your biscuits. Just mix them in gently before adding the liquid ingredients.
