- 1 ¼ cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 ¼ cups self-rising flour.
Add in the ½ cup milk and give it a little stir to combine with the self-rising flour mixture.
Stir in the 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and the mixture will begin to come together to form a ball of dough. Once this happens, stop mixing and prepare the biscuits for baking.
Then drop 6 tablespoonfuls of biscuit dough onto a greased baking sheet, pan, or cast-iron skillet. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until the biscuits have lightly browned. Remove from the oven and all them to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving warm.
Tips to make the best biscuits with mayo:
- Do not substitute the self-rising flour for all-purpose flour.
- Use whole milk only for this recipe. This recipe needs the additional fat that is found in whole milk. Substituting any other milk may have a different outcome.
- Do not over mix the dough. Once it begins to come together and sticks onto itself, you want to stop mixing or your biscuits will be tough.
- Pay close attention to these biscuits while they are baking and as soon as they become light brown, remove them from the oven. I set the cook timer for 10 minutes in the beginning and check the biscuits once the time is up. If additional time is needed after this point then I re-set the timer for 5 minutes at a time, checking each time the timer goes off.
- Keep in mind these are easy drop biscuits and they will be dense and have will have the rise that classic biscuits have. This is a nice quick option and a good alternative to canned biscuits.
- If you do not have any self-rising flour on hand, then it is simple to make using all-purpose flour and a few additional ingredients. Simply follow this Self-Rising Flour Recipe.
