Fast Food Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or less)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup oil
• 2/3 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp. vinegar and 1/2 to 1 tsp. baking soda dissolved in it and let set for a few minu)
• egg wash
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. 1

   Combine dry ingredients.

2. 2

   Measure oil and milk in measuring cup and do not mix.

3. 3

   Pour all at once over flour mixture. Just mix in bowl. Does not need to be kneaded or shaped. Just mix until all ingredients are just moistened. Can add a little more flour if it seems too gooey but you basically will take it in your hands to shape and place on pan.

4. 4

   Let proof 10 min on lightly greased pan. If you want a more golden look, place egg wash on top before baking. If you want a more dessert type biscuit for strawberry shortcake then dust with sugar and melted butter (or egg wash) before baking.

5. 5

   475 degrees 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown. (You may want to adjust heat and time for your own oven since all cook differently).
