Many would say that there is no substitue for butter, but the act of substituting olive oil for vegetable oil will indeed make a biscuit. It will, however, alter the flavor. I find in baking, olive oil is not only much healthier, but it also makes the flavor of the rest of the ingredients more vivid. I would suggest using olive oil rather than vegetable oil whenever possible.
Yes you can use oil in mixing the batter to make biscuits.
Yes, olive oil can be a substitute for vegetable oil. Also, advice is that pure light olive oil rather than extra-virgin will produce a milder, tender cake.
You can but they'll taste like salad!
Yes, but the taste may not be so good.
Yes. Yes you can.
For cooking steaks, it is better to use butter than any oil.
Olive oil is vegetable oil, only better for you. Extra virgin has a lovely olive flavor which you might not appreciate in your biscuits, so extra light (oil NOT from the first pressing of the olives) might be a good idea. I use it and like it
Ive heard it can run of vegetable oil but not olive oil.
Usually it can be, yes.
First off, baby oil should not be eaten. And instead of vegetable oil, try other oils like canola, grapeseed, peanut, or olive oils.
You can replace it with other types of oil (corn, grapeseed, olive, ect.) or use applesauce instead.
An olive is a fruit.
Butter or margarine for solid, I use oil in mine. About 1/4 cup of oil for 2 cups flour.More information:Lard is also an appropriate solid fat for making biscuits. Oil will produce biscuits with a noticeably different texture than those made with solid fats. However, when nutrition is a key consideration, biscuits made with oil, including olive oil, are perfectly acceptable quick breads.
You can use vegetable oil instead of olive oil however olive oil is generally added to recipes for it's taste plus its much healthier for you, but you could use vegetable oil. Think about it this way, you use vegetable oil to cook your chips right? So thierfore it can be used for cooking in food, but think how your chips taste when you leave too much oil on them - that's the taste you'll be adding to your recipe, but, if your going to do it - try be sparing with it or add extra herbs / spices to cover the taste.
Yes, but be aware that olive oil has flavors that most vegetable oils don't have. You are likely to have a touch of olive flavor in your pancakes!
Depends what you are doing with it, olive oil works great at making salad dressing, sauteing, frying eggs, and making some sauces. I have read that olive oil is not a good oil to deep fry with.
