Drop Biscuits
2 ¾ cup flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp Olive oil 3 Tbsp Coconut oil or butter 1 ½ cup milk
Preheat oven to 450° F.
Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in the butter, or grate it & stir it in. Stir in the milk. For whole wheat flour, you might need 1 or 2 more Tbsp of milk. It should be a very soft, sticky dough. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes 12.
Variations:
Reduce the salt to ½ tsp. Add a bit of honey or sugar, and other things like nuts, oats, and dried fruit to make scones.
Use olive oil instead of butter. Add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp black pepper and roll out into thin pizza crusts (recipe is enough for 2 medium-large pizzas). It makes a nice crackery crust.
Make vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and water instead of milk. The biscuits still turn out soft and fluffy.
Add ¾ cup of grated cheese.
