Quickie Biscuits
Quickie Biscuits are easy, fluffy treats with a hint of mayonnaise, perfect for a quick snack or breakfast. They pair well with butter and jelly for a delightful start.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add enough milk or water to the self-rising flour and mayonnaise to make a thick batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan.
- Bake at 400° or 450° until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm with butter and jelly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, you can substitute half of the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add a teaspoon of baking powder. If you're out of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream can work as a substitute, adding moisture and richness. Adjust the milk gradually until you achieve a thick batter consistency, as different brands of flour can absorb liquid differently.
Serving Suggestions
These quick biscuits are delightful served warm with a pat of butter and a dollop of your favorite jam, like raspberry jam squares. They also pair excellently with soups or stews, making them a versatile addition to any meal. For a sweet twist, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert, reminiscent of a peanut butter ice cream sundae pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and place the biscuits on a baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour in place of self-rising flour, but be sure to add a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to mimic the leavening effect of self-rising flour.
What can I add to the batter for extra flavor?
Consider mixing in shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to the batter for added flavor. Cheddar cheese works particularly well, giving the biscuits a savory touch that complements various dishes.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours. When you're ready to bake, simply pour it into the muffin pan and adjust the baking time as needed for fresh biscuits.
