Quickie Olive Oil Biscuits

Submitted by Hey Jude

"These are fast, easy and tasty. I found the recipe in the Chicago Sun-Times but it's originally from 'Entertaining 1-2-3 by Rozanne Gold. It just serves 2 so, obviously, double or triple if needed."

I didn't really care for these. They didn't have alot of taste and came out too dry but hubby said he liked them. Thanks for sharing.

I thought these were just ok. I would give them 3 stars for taste, but I added a star based on how fast and easy they are. Good for a quick bread to go with a weeknight dinner. It seemed like they needed a flavor boost though--without butter they were sort of heavy and tasteless. Maybe some garlic and oregano? I will make again, but will try to find ways to liven them up a bit.

These are delicious. Instead of making drop biscuits, I patted the dough out lightly and cut with the rim of a cup. I got 3 biscuits. I did have to add another tablespoon of milk. Thanks, we loved them

Thanks for the recipe! These turned out great for oil based biscuits, despite the age of my self-rising flour. I ended up using 1/2 cup liquid to get the dough to stick together. And since my flour was old, I used buttermilk to give it a little extra boost. The hint of olive oil makes these interesting. I cooked at 350 degrees for 8 minutes in a convection toaster oven. I continued the theme by making some dipping sauce from 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of marjoram, thyme, and basil.
