Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients with a wire whisk.
- Add salad oil and liquid (water for hard crust or milk for soft crust).
- Mix dough well until it forms a soft ball.
- Knead until elastic on a floured surface.
- Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut into 2-inch rounds using a glass.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F or until light golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices like garlic powder or dried oregano to the dry ingredients. If you're out of salad oil, melted butter or vegetable oil can be used as substitutes. For a richer taste, replace some of the water with milk. To ensure the biscuits are light and fluffy, avoid over-kneading the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect served warm with butter, jam, or honey. They also pair beautifully with hearty dishes like Steak Bake or alongside soups and stews. For a delightful breakfast, serve them with Fresh Peach Sauce or alongside scrambled eggs. They can be enjoyed as a snack or even as a side to your favorite American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them by wrapping individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to regain their freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before rolling it out.
What can I do if the biscuits are too dry?
If your biscuits come out dry, it may be due to overbaking or too much flour. To add moisture, you can brush them with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Next time, try reducing the flour slightly or checking the biscuits a minute or two earlier.
Can I add cheese to the biscuits?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella to the dough can enhance the flavor and create a cheesy biscuit. Just fold in about 1 cup of cheese after mixing the wet and dry ingredients, and adjust the liquid slightly if needed.
