Mix all ingredients together. Place thin layer of oil in bottom of pan. I use a small cast iron frying pan. Roll dough and place in pan. If dough is too sticky then just add flour until dry enough to roll. Roll dough and cut biscuits. Place in pan with edges touching and flattening out until edges do touch and cover bottom of pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until tops are brown. Amy Poole Creasy 304
