Whole Wheat Biscuit Mound

This is a super quick and simple biscuit recipe I made as a little side to go with supper tonight. It is a nice biscuit recipe that does not require any kneading, rolling, or cutting. Just mix it up and pat it onto a sheet. It can also be made into individual biscuits dropped from a spoon if you prefer, but a large biscuit mound is easier and more appealing in some ways as well. This is just a plain biscuit recipe, nothing special, but you could add spices, honey or molasses, or raisins or cheese for a different flavor. This recipe also makes a very small amount, but may easily be doubled.

Whole Wheat Biscuit Mound
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon granulated (white) sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons oil
3/8 cup (90 mL) milk
Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Stir the oil and milk together and add, stirring quickly. Add a splash more milk if necessary. Gather the dough into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten out into about 1/2 inch thick. It does not need to be a precise shape, rectangle, circle, or clump all work. Thickness does not need to be exact either, but be aware that cooking times may vary.
Bake for about 15 minutes. Cut or break a mound off, and enjoy hot with butter and/or honey.
