Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 cup milk

  3. Bake at 400°F.
  4. Brown as desired.

Tips & Substitutions

For fluffier biscuits, ensure that the self-rising flour is fresh and well-aerated. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of flour. You can also experiment with flavored mayonnaise for a unique twist. Pair these biscuits with a hearty stew or soup for a comforting meal.

Serving Suggestions

These mayonnaise biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Serve them warm with butter and jam, or alongside a savory dish like Seafood Overtime for a delightful contrast. They also pair well with a fresh salad, such as Old Time Fruit Salad, making for a balanced meal. Consider serving them with a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they retain their fluffy texture.
