- 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/8 cup olive oil

- In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
- Add oil and water/broth. Mix well.
- Knead and roll out the dough on a flat surface.
- Cut with a cookie cutter.
- Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes.
- Leave biscuits in oven until they are dry for extra crunchiness.
