Bongo Biscuits are fluffy, savory biscuits made with self-rising flour, milk, and mayonnaise, offering a moist texture and mild flavor—perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the self-rising flour, milk, and mayonnaise in a bowl.
- Stir until the ingredients are well mixed.
- Spoon the batter into a greased muffin pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing. You can substitute yogurt or sour cream for mayonnaise if desired. If you want a sweeter option, consider adding sugar or chocolate chips to the batter. Experiment with herbs or spices for a savory twist. These Bongo Biscuits also pair beautifully with Mary Anne'S Vegetable Dip for a delicious snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bongo Biscuits warm as a delightful snack or breakfast option. They are excellent with butter and jam, or alongside soups and salads for a heartier meal. Pair them with Honey Pineapple Oatmeal Cookies for a sweet finish to your meal. These biscuits are versatile and can be enjoyed any time of day.

Store leftover Bongo Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
What can I add to the batter for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding vanilla extract, almond extract, or even spices like cinnamon. Chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips also make great additions to the batter.
Can I freeze the Bongo Biscuits?
Yes, Bongo Biscuits freeze well. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
