I was visiting a friend in the USA recently, who is originally from Virginia and is quite a wild forager herself. We put our heads together and came up with this recipe for making Southern-style biscuits (basically savoury scones typically served with gravy as an accompaniment) starting from my oil baking mix recipe.
Prepare the baking mix and turn into a bowl. Add just enough of the water so the baking mix is moistened sufficiently to hold together as a fairly crumbly dough.
Knead very lightly then turn out onto a floured work surface and pat into an oblong about 12mm thick. Use a floured knife to cut into squares about 5cm per side. Transfer these onto a greased baking tray an place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden and risen.
Either serve warm, split open and spread with butter and jam or serve Southern style to accompany savoury gravy.
