Light and fluffy mayonnaise biscuits with a tender crumb, perfect for breakfast or as a side. Quick to make, these biscuits are suitable for all bread lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Mix self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and sweetened milk together with a fork until well combined.
- Fill a well-greased muffin pan with tablespoonfuls of the batter, enough to fill each cavity.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing. If you don't have sweetened milk, you can use regular milk and add a tablespoon of sugar. This recipe is quite forgiving; feel free to experiment by adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor. If you want these biscuits to be extra fluffy, consider folding in a bit of baking powder, but this may alter the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These mayonnaise biscuits are delicious served warm with butter or jam. They also pair beautifully with soup or salad, making them an excellent side for a light lunch. Consider serving them alongside dishes like herbed cheese bites or a fresh melon-blueberry salad for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits tough and chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every cup of flour to achieve the same leavening effect.
What can I substitute for mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a substitute for mayonnaise, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream for a similar texture and flavor. Alternatively, a combination of olive oil and a bit of vinegar can also work, though it may alter the taste slightly.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of the biscuits, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme directly into the batter. You can also mix in shredded cheese or even spices like garlic powder to elevate the taste. Experimenting with different ingredients can lead to unique variations!
