Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.75 cup Milk (any variety)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and milk.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together.

Step 6

Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick circle or rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out round biscuits. Gently gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

If desired, melt the optional butter and lightly brush the tops of the biscuits before baking for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam!
