Easy Italian Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour plus a little extra for dusting cutting board 
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon parsley
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix all ingredients together with your hands or spoon until it forms a ball.  Sprinkle the extra flour onto a cutting board or bread board and place the dough.  Knead the dough 10-15 times.  (The more you knead it, the more your biscuits rise).  Roll the dough until it is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into desired shape. (You can use shapes for the seasons but be careful not to have too many edges.  The biscuits will get hard and crisp).  The leftover dough can be kneaded together again but don't add more flour to it.  It will dry the dough out.  This recipe makes approximately 12 biscuits.
Bake until biscuits are golden brown.  Melt 1/2 stick butter or margarine with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.  Brush the biscuits after they are done with this mixture.  Best served hot.
