Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar, optional

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup water or dairy free milk

1/3 cup oil

Instructions:

  1. Whisk flour, sugar (if desired), baking powder, and salt together in a medium size bowl.
  2. Add oil. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
  3. Add water or dairy free milk. Mix until combined into a very wet dough. If it is too wet to come together into a dough, add more flour a little at a time until it does.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F or 218°C.
  5. Move dough to a well floured surface. Pat the surface with flour.
  6. Flour your hands well and knead the dough give times by pushing the dough away from you and folding it over itself.
  7. Use your hands, flatten the dough to 1-inch thick.
  8. Cut out biscuits as close together as possible using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup. Reshape the dough and cut again. Repeat until there is no dough left.
  9. Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet less than half an inch apart.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are beginning to lightly golden brown. Remove and serve warm.
