These quick and fluffy homemade biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch, offering a delightful texture and flavor.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Sift the dry ingredients together for a lighter biscuit texture.
In a measuring cup, combine the oil and milk. Do not stir.
Using cold milk can help create a flakier biscuit.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the biscuit cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Pair with butter and jam for a classic treat.
