Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing it with mayonnaise. You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise if you're looking for a lower-fat option. If you want to add flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese or herbs like chives. Remember to check the biscuits a minute or two earlier than the specified time, as ovens can vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm as a delightful side to savory dishes like Bachelor'S Stew or alongside breakfast items. They are perfect for brunch or as a quick snack. For a twist, consider topping them with a dollop of honey or jam. They also pair beautifully with a fresh salad or soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to achieve the same leavening effect as self-rising flour.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, you can add a little more self-rising flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Just be careful not to overwork the dough.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, just scoop and bake as directed.
