Quick Hot Muffins
These quick hot muffins are soft, savory bites with a hint of richness from mayonnaise, perfect for a fast breakfast or snack for any time of day.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and milk to a bowl; mix until moist and well combined.
- Grease a muffin pan well.
- Drop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 tsp of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mixing just until combined keeps the muffins tender, so avoid overmixing. These quick muffins are a fantastic base for variations, inspired by similar American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These hot muffins are delightful served warm with butter or jam. Pair them with a bowl of soup or a fresh salad for a light meal. They are also great as a quick breakfast option alongside fresh fruit. For a complete spread, consider serving them with Peppy'S Potato Salad for a comforting meal that everyone will love.

Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer preservation, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to achieve a similar effect as self-rising flour. This substitution will help your muffins rise properly while maintaining their light texture.
How can I make these muffins sweeter?
To sweeten the muffins, you can add 2-4 tablespoons of sugar or honey to the batter. Alternatively, mix in some chocolate chips or dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added sweetness and texture. These additions will complement the base recipe beautifully.
Can I freeze these muffins?
Absolutely! These muffins freeze well. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat directly from frozen.
