Ingredients

3/4 cup

sugar

1 1/3 cups

olive oil or sesame oil

vanilla — 1 packet

1 tbsp

lemon juice

1 tsp

baking soda

eggs

2 tsp

baking powder

3 cups

flour

milk — a little if needed

Method

Sift the flour with both raising agents so they are evenly distributed before the wet ingredients go in.

Beat the eggs with the lemon juice, half the sugar, and the vanilla. In a second bowl, rub the oil into the flour and remaining sugar.

Bring the two mixtures together, adding only a little milk if the dough refuses to come together. You want it smooth enough to roll, not sticky.

Roll, cut, and bake on a floured tray at about 350°F/175°C (the source gives no temperature) until the biscuits are set and lightly colored.
