I've never heard of using vegetable oil in biscuits but am assured that it is truly possible. I haven't tried this yet but am printing up a copy to have at hand. I am more often out of shortening than I am of oil so this would be a blessing on those evenings when biscuits would go so well with a particular dish.
Vegetable Oil Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup whole milk
Mix and stir together the dry ingredients. Combine the oil and milk. Add the oil and mix mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to just accomplish a soft dough. Place dough on a floured board and knead just a few seconds to smooth out. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thick. Use your favorite biscuit cutter and place your biscuits on either an ungreased baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven until golden.
If you like crusty biscuits, space the apart on the baking sheet. If you like softer one, place them closer together so they touch. Feeling decadent and longing for some richness, brush the tops with melted butter before baking. Need a biscuit to go along with soup or stew? Add 1/2 cup of your favorite grated cheese to the mix.
