My Name Is bj.....and I'm a BISCUITHOLIC

Some of you might have figured out that I am

OBSESSED  WITH  BISCUITS....

Can't help it...I love 'em to the moon and back.

Have you ever made biscuits with OIL instead of SHORTENING..?

I didn't know it could be done...

Hungry for biscuits one morning and finding out 

I had no shortening in my pantry or fridge...

and not wanting to use BUTTER,

I googled WHAT TO DO...

I found a recipe HERE

and it called for OIL....

WAIT......WHAAAT...????  OIL..??

OK....you KNOW I had to try it...and tell YOU

about it, in case you find you don't have shortening, either.

It made a fairly nice dough...

and instead of rolling it out with a rolling pin,

I simply used my fingers to form what I thought was about right in thickness...

And, I used a small juice glass to cut them out... dipping the rim into flour each cut, because I wanted small biscuits...
All my cutters are larger. 

They turned our REALLY PRETTY...

and DON'TCHAKNOW we all want a pretty biscuit...

hahhaa....like the earth will stop spinning if our biscuits are ugly....

Ymmmm.....
Flaky....

not as light with the use of OIL..

but  the taste was really good.

I halved the recipe so I came out with 

SIX pretty biscuits...

I am such a lover of CHERRIES that my favorite preserves  .....

CHERRY

I tell ya.....they are GOOOD.

...just so ya know....you CAN use oil instead of shortening.

As with all biscuit dough, just make sure to use enuf milk to make a sticky, soft dough..

If your dough is dry, your biscuits will also be dry...

For success with making a good biscuit,

I nearly ALWAYS use more milk than the recipe calls for. 

I still prefer SHORTENING...just makes a lighter, flakier bread...

but using oil is quicker...not that much mixing...

and if you're in a hurry, oil works fine.

and....THERE YOU HAVE IT...

THE REST OF THE STORY....:>)
