Olive Oil Biscuits
Olive oil is not just for cooking or dipping, it makes for great baked goods like these biscuits.
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
3/4 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 Cup 2% Or Whole Milk
Directions:
Preheat oven at 450°F. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the Picual and the Tuscan Herb olive oil, knead until the mix feels like crumbs.
Mix yogurt and milk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and mix slowly with a spoon until everything is incorporated. If it is too dry, add a bit of milk. The dough will be sticky and soft.
Add some flour to your hands and surface of a cutting board or clean counter area and roll to shape dough in a ball. Spread out on a surface, and fold again a couple of times. Pat out so thickness is about 1 inch, using a round cookie cutter or the opening of a small glass cup cut in 2 - 2 ½ inch circles.
Place on a baking pan, one slightly touching the other, bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
