Herb Baking Powder Biscuits

Biscuits are traditionally made with a solid fat like butter but they're even better with canola oil! Replace solid fats with canola oil and you'll cut total fats as well as trans and saturated fats.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour (500 mL)
• 1 Tbsp baking powder (15 mL)
• 1 tsp salt (5 mL)
• 1 Tbsp Italian herb blend (15 mL)
• 1/2 cup canola oil (125 mL)
• 2/3 cup low-fat milk (150 mL)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Sift dry ingredients into a medium size bowl. Make a well in flour mixture, and add canola oil and milk. Mix with a fork until mixture cleans the bowl and forms one mass.

3. Place dough on floured surface and knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Using a round 2-3 inch cookie cutter cut dough into circles. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Best served warm.

Yield: 12 biscuits.
