I gladly shared the cooking duties over the holidays, but not wanting to spend all of my time in the kitchen, I sometimes made biscuits to fill out the meal. These olive oil biscuits are incredibly easy to make and pleased both vegetarians and carnivores alike. If desired, you can add a 1/2 cup of raisins or blueberries to the dough. Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese for the parmesan cheese.
Olive Oil Parmesan Biscuits
1 3/4 cups of unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of baking powder
5 tablespoons of olive oil
1 cup of milk
1/4 - 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the olive oil, milk and cheese to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Drop the dough on a greased baking sheet in roughly 1/4 cup portions. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes approximately 12 biscuits.

These have made me feel really hungry. Think I better go and make dinner.
It is delightful to see a biscuits recipe with olive oil instead of butter or shortening! I will have to try this soon.
these look so simple and so yummy - and no rolling out dough - I assume they would freeze ok so they could be taken out on a hot night and served with salad - they are on my list of to do!
I love that these are so easy to make. They would be great with soups, salads, or just on their own. Delicious!
I made these this week and have posted on them - with my comments on the linguistic differences - in australia and uk we would call these scone - but they taste great no matter what you call them
I've made these twice already and they turned out fantastic both times! Lisa, thanks so much for a healthier alternative to typical US biscuits. :)
Have never made bisuits like these before, & am very intrigued. They look fab Lisa!
Mmm these sounds SO good!
I'm a new reader - found your blog when searching olive oil biscuit recipes. I made these for supper tonight and they were amazing! I added some fresh ground black pepper to the dough as well.
Also coincidental that I was just in London for the very first time this past weekend. Lovely city!
