Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together the self-rising flour, milk, and Miracle Whip until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into muffin tins.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing. You can substitute the Miracle Whip with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangy flavor. If you prefer a savory twist, add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the batter. Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking, and consider using a silicone muffin pan for easy removal.
Serving Suggestions
These zesty biscuits make a delightful addition to breakfast or brunch. Serve them warm alongside scrambled eggs or crispy bacon for a hearty meal. They also pair beautifully with a bowl of soup or salad, making them versatile for lunch or dinner. Consider serving them with E-Z Barbecue Sauce for a fun twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover 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 (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes until warmed through, restoring their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just give it a good stir before spooning it into the muffin tins. Freshly baked biscuits are best, but this method saves time for busy mornings.
What can I use instead of self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar leavening effect in the recipe.
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze these biscuits after baking. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To enjoy, reheat directly from the freezer in the oven.
