Can you make biscuits with self rising flour and olive oil?

You can absolutely make biscuits with self-rising flour and olive oil! Here's a recipe, but keep in mind that olive oil will give them a unique flavor:

Olive Oil Biscuits with Self-Rising Flour

Ingredients:

* 2 cups self-rising flour

* 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, if your self-rising flour doesn't already have salt)

* 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

* 1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).

2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and salt (if using).

3. Add olive oil: Pour in the olive oil and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the oil into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

5. Shape biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times, about 5-6 times. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.

6. Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

* Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil will provide the best flavor.

* Don't overmix: Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.

* Cold ingredients: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for extra flakiness.

* Flavor variations: You can add herbs like rosemary or thyme, or cheese to the dough.

Important note: Olive oil has a lower smoke point than butter, so be careful not to let the biscuits burn while baking.

Enjoy your olive oil biscuits!
