Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.75 cup Milk (any variety)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and milk.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together.
Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick circle or rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out round biscuits. Gently gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
If desired, melt the optional butter and lightly brush the tops of the biscuits before baking for a golden finish.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
