2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup milk
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Measure the liquids in the same cup and pour over the dry ingredients all at once. Stir together with a fork until just combined. Turn out on a floured surface and gently knead together one or two to times. Roll to just shy of 1/2″. Cut into rounds (my mom uses a small tomato paste can) and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 425 degree F oven for about 20 minutes.
Now that is the standard recipe… but you can use buttermilk instead of sweet milk. Or soymilk, even. You can use self-rising flour as well, just leave out the baking powder. Any kind of veg oil works, I prefer canola. You can also add about 2 tablespoons of sugar and some orange zest and have great shortcakes to spoon strawberries over. The secret is to handle the dough as little as possible..

i love food, i love the texture, the taste, i love preparing food and even if i don’t eat it, i can appreciate it if it’s well prepared.
cooking for me is a joy, i’m not a recipe cook, nothing ever comes out exactly the same when i do it. i like to cook in a spacious kitchen with lots of spices. i like powdered and bottled spices but there is the joy of the heft of a good knife as you slice and dice, seasonings by hand and that lovely aroma that remains on your fingertips and fills the kitchen.
there is something truly sensual about preparing a meal.
with this in mind, i asked a couple of like minded individuals to come and indulge their love of food, preparation and all, here.
