Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, cut the self-rising flour and mayonnaise together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the milk and stir until well combined.
  3. Spoon the batter into four greased muffin cups.
  4. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 14 to 16 minutes or until light brown.

Tips & Substitutions

To achieve the fluffiest biscuit muffins, make sure not to overmix the batter once you add the milk; a few lumps are okay. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it by combining all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a twist, try adding shredded cheese or herbs to the batter, which pairs beautifully with Onion Cheese Muffins.

Serving Suggestions

These fluffy biscuit muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Serve them warm with butter or jam for a delightful treat. They also pair well with savory dishes like scrambled eggs or a light salad. For a complete meal, enjoy them alongside Barbecue Cornbread for a comforting experience.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover biscuit muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside. They can also be reheated in a microwave, but expect a softer texture.
