Well my mom made the best biscuits this way: 2 cups milk, 1/4 cup olive oil,stir in enough self rising flour until soft dough (2-3cups) will be sticky then pour out onto floured board and mix in enough SR flour until can handle without being sticky. Pinch off dough and roll in hand to form into ball (can also cut out by cutting straight down then twist if you must). Bake in hot 400-425 oven about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Very tender and flaky as oil is through out dough. Can use butter if you prefer, but melt I it. She baked them in a hot cast iron skillet with oil that she coated biscuits with then turned them over so both sides had oil. Yum! I make them too.
