Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

- Divide the batter evenly into a greased muffin pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For lighter biscuits, be sure to use fresh self-rising flour. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour combined with baking powder and salt. When mixing, avoid over-stirring to keep the biscuits fluffy. A dash of garlic powder or herbs can add extra flavor if desired.
Serving Suggestions
These mayonnaise biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a savory side with soups and salads. Serve them warm with butter or honey for a delightful treat. They pair beautifully with Outrageous French Toast for a brunch spread or can be enjoyed alongside a hearty bowl of soup for a comforting meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of low-fat or vegan options?
Yes, you can use regular mayonnaise for this recipe. However, if you're looking for a lighter option, low-fat mayonnaise works well too. For a vegan alternative, try using egg-free mayonnaise, which will provide similar results in texture and taste without the eggs.
What should I do if my biscuit batter is too thick?
If your biscuit batter seems too thick, gradually add a bit more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The batter should be thick but pourable. Avoid adding too much at once, as this can make the biscuits too wet.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
While it's best to bake the biscuits fresh for optimal texture, you can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking. Just give it a gentle stir before pouring it into the muffin pan, as it may thicken slightly while chilling.
