Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix dry ingredients well in bowl. Pour oil and milk into measuring cup (do not stir together). Pour all at once into flour. Stir with fork until mixture cleans sides of bowl and forms a ball.
Knead until dough looks smooth (careful not to overdo it). Pat or roll about 1/2" thick. Cut with unfloured biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 min., or until golden brown. Makes 16 medium biscuits.
I use a hamburger press to cut out hamburger bun size biscuits to have with sandwiches or burgers.
