Basic Biscuits

11/2 cups of flour
1/4 cup of oil
2 tblsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Mix all in a bowl until dough follows around the edge of the bowl, if too moist add a little more flour, dough should be spongy but hold together. Knead on a floured surface with hands and pinch off and flatten in a buttered pan or cut out with a biscuit cutter or bottom of a glass. Bake at 400 degrees preheated oven. Enjoy!
