Mom made baking powder biscuits frequently, but I don't remember her following a recipe. Nor do I remember her making them with vegetable oil and using waxed paper to roll out the dough. Instead, she used lard or shortening and rolled the dough out on a floured cutting board. Maybe this was an "emergency recipe" in case she was out of shortening.
Stir-n-Roll Biscuits
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup Wesson oil
1/3 cup milk
Stir with a fork until mixture cleans sides of bowl and rounds up into a ball.
Smooth up by kneading about 10 times without additional flour
With dough on waxed paper, press out 1/4 inch thick with hands or roll out between waxed paper.
Cut with unfloured biscuit cutter.
Bake 10-12 minutes in pre-heated oven at 475 F.
Makes about 20 medium size biscuits.
