Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin pan.
- Mix self-rising flour, sweet milk, mayonnaise, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using buttermilk instead of sweet milk. If you prefer a touch of flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest. Adjust the sugar according to your taste; you can substitute honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness. Ensure your muffin pan is well-greased to prevent sticking, and try not to overmix the batter for the best rise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these muffins warm with butter or jam for a delightful breakfast or snack. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread, complementing dishes like a Crowd Pleasing Vegetable Bake.

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a resealable freezer bag for up to three months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but be sure to add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour to mimic the self-rising effect.
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before baking. Alternatively, bake them ahead and freeze for quick breakfast options.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
Consider adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture. You can also incorporate herbs or spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to create a unique twist.
