Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2-2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Mix all ingredients well. If dough seems dry, add a little bit extra milk until mixes well.
  • Place dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet in biscuit shapes. My mother didn't even shape them; she would just put globs of dough down and they would be irregular shapes.
  • Lightly dust flour on the top of the biscuits.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS

This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.
