Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Self-rising flour
- 0.67 cup Milk (preferably whole or 2%)
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, milk, and vegetable oil.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the dough looks slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough onto it. Gently knead the dough 4–5 times to bring it together into a smooth mass. Avoid over-kneading to keep the biscuits tender.
Pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter or an upside-down glass (about 2–3 inches in diameter) to cut out the biscuits. Gather any scraps, pat the dough out again, and cut additional biscuits.
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops with melted butter for a rich, golden finish.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
