Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough; mix just until combined. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour. Experiment with adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor, which can complement your biscuits beautifully with dishes like Sensational Shrimp Dip.

These biscuits are perfect served warm with butter and jam or alongside a hearty soup. Pair them with a salad for a light lunch or serve them as a side with fried chicken. They also make a great base for breakfast sandwiches, complementing dishes like Mustard Eggs for a delicious morning treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, ensuring they regain their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of light?
Yes, you can use regular mayonnaise in this recipe. It will provide the same moisture and flavor to the biscuits. However, if you're looking for a lighter option, feel free to substitute with light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
What can I do if my biscuits turn out too dense?
If your biscuits are dense, it may be due to overmixing the dough or not using fresh self-rising flour. Ensure you mix just until combined and use flour that is within its expiration date. A light hand when shaping the biscuits can also help maintain a fluffy texture.
How can I add flavor to these biscuits?
To enhance the flavor of your biscuits, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough. You can also mix in shredded cheese or garlic powder for a savory twist. These additions can elevate your biscuits to pair beautifully with a variety of dishes.
