Muffin Biscuits
Muffin biscuits are a delightful fusion of muffins and biscuits, offering a soft and fluffy texture with a hint of richness from mayonnaise or butter. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these treats pair wonderfully with jam, honey, or even savory toppings, making them an ideal choice for both sweet and savory cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together self-rising flour, mayonnaise or melted butter, and buttermilk in a bowl.
- Fill greased muffin tins half full.
- Bake at 450° for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier muffin biscuits, make sure not to overmix the batter; just combine until moist. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt to each cup of all-purpose flour. For a richer flavor, try substituting mayonnaise with melted butter. These biscuits are great for breakfast or as a side for savory dishes.
Serving Suggestions
These muffin biscuits are perfect for breakfast, served warm with butter and jam. They also pair beautifully with a hearty soup or salad for lunch. For a delightful treat, enjoy them alongside a slice of Rich Caramel Cake or a cup of coffee. Consider adding herbs or cheese to the batter for an extra flavor twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffin biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. Alternatively, microwave for 15-20 seconds if you prefer a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour if you add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per cup to achieve a similar result. This will give your muffin biscuits the lift they need.
What can I serve with muffin biscuits?
Muffin biscuits are versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes. They go well with eggs, bacon, or even on their own with butter and honey. For a lighter option, pair them with a fresh salad or soup.
How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
To make gluten-free muffin biscuits, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture. Follow the same instructions, and you'll have delicious gluten-free biscuits!
