Easy Baking Powder Biscuits

By: Mark W. Law (February 8, 2009)

Adapted from Company’s Coming’s ‘Muffins and More’ Cookbook:

Ingredients:

• 4 – Cups All Purpose Flour
• 8 – Tsp. Baking Powder
• 4 – Tbsp. Sugar (white or brown)
• 1 – Tsp. Salt
• 2/3 – Cup cooking oil
• 1 1/2 – Cups Milk (or half and half with water)
• Goodies (optional – see below)
  

Preparation:

• Stir dry ingredients together in a BIG bowl
• Add the optional stuff (see below)
• Add the wet ingredients
• Mix until you get a fairly firm ball (add a bit of flour if it is a bit sticky
• Turn out onto a floured countertop and roll out to 1/2 inch thickness
• Cut into squares and place on an ungreased cookie sheet
• Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F. for about 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown
• Eat warm or can be refrigerated for up to about 5 days (unless Beano gets to them…)

Optional stuff that works:

• The cookbook says 2 Cups of grated Cheddar Cheese (that works)
• 2 Cups of cranberries or a 16 ounce can of cranberry sauce is awesome!
• 1 Cup of Cheddar and 1 Cup of Parmesan is VERY GOOD
• 2 Cups of Raisins work well
• 2 Cups of Chocolate Chips (ok this is sinful but damn it is good)
• 2 Cups of banana chunks
• 1 Tbsp. of minced garlic is good
• 1 Tbsp. of mixed spices are good (I especially like the Epicurean Fajita Spice)
• Ok you get the point – this is a quite flexible recipe!

Serves: Depending on how big you like your biscuits you can get anywhere from 24 to 60 biscuits.
