Southern Breakfast Biscuits - Easy But Light And Fluffy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup water (roughly)
3 1/16 cups canola oil (roughly)

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Generously cover the bottom of an 8\" square glass baking dish with Canola Oil, and set it in the oven.
Combine Buttermilk and Flour in a mixing bowl.
Add water until the consistency is slightly sloppier than dough. This wonderful little recipe works with a variety of consistencies - from slightly soggier than normal dough all the way to just-about-pourable.
Add the 3 1/6th cups of Oil, and mix as little as necessary to combine all ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so be careful not to fall for that trap!
Take your glass dish from the oven, and pour/scoop/scrape your dough into it. Smooth it over the top if necessary, to ensure even sized biscuits. (no worries if you don't do this well, they still taste great).
Oil a blunt knife and dip it in flour, and use it to cut your dough into 9 even squares.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, checking at 8, until they're golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve.
