Preheat oven to 475F
Sift together all the dry ingredients into a bowl. In a measuring cup, pour the oil and add the egg. Add to that enough milk to make 1 cup of liquid. Mix into the dry ingredients with a knife. Take out the dough and knead about 10 times or until smooth. Place the dough between two sheets of waxed paper and roll into a 1/4-1/2 inch slab. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, punch out as many biscuits as you can, refolding the excess dough into more slabs until there it's gone.
Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Open up the hot biscuits and top with sliced fruit and wipped cream. Enjoy the deliciousness.

Or you could just eat the shortcakes plain. Thats delicious too.
