Bisquits made with oil....

Posted on Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 04:04

I am wanting to make homemade biscuits without using Crisco.  I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for biscuits made with oil.  After reading several blogs about hydrogenated oil, I'm thinking it might be a good thing to stay away from.  My Crisco is hydrogenated oil.  I and my family absolutely love a good jelly biscuit. 

Blessings,

Trixi

I haven't tried oil yet, I make biscuits quite often and I use butter. Let us know how the oil works.
