Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix all ingredients—self-rising flour, milk, mayonnaise, and sugar—until well combined.
- Fill muffin tins halfway with the batter.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing. You can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for mayonnaise if you're looking for a tangier flavor. If you're out of self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. These rolls can be dressed up with herbs or spices for added flavor, making them versatile for different meals.
Serving Suggestions
These mayonnaise rolls are delicious served warm with butter or alongside a hearty soup. They pair beautifully with Preacher Salad for a light lunch or can be enjoyed as a side with a Mushroom Burger for dinner. Feel free to experiment with spreads like honey or jam to enhance their flavor profile.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover mayonnaise rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisp on the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to stir it gently before filling the muffin tins, as it may settle. Baking them fresh is ideal for the best texture, but pre-prepping can save time.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This substitution will work perfectly for this recipe and help achieve the desired rise.
Can I add cheese or herbs to the recipe?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese, like cheddar or mozzarella, or fresh herbs such as chives or rosemary can elevate the flavor of these rolls. Just fold them into the batter before baking for a savory twist.
