Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for effortless cleaning.
In a sizeable bowl, gently whisk the self-rising flour and milk until they’re just combined. Handle the mixture with care, as if it were a dear friend.
Introduce the mayonnaise to the bowl, stirring until the batter is evenly moistened. Remember, it’s okay if there are a few lumps – they add character.
Using an ice cream scoop for uniformity, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto your baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown, signaling they’re ready to grace your table.
Variations & Tips:
Opting for buttermilk instead of regular milk can infuse your biscuits with a richer flavor and tender texture.
Feel free to stir in extras like shredded cheese, chives, or crumbled bacon for an added twist.
If you have leftovers, they reheat beautifully in the oven or toaster, preserving their charm for another day.
The dough might be stickier than expected due to the mayonnaise; this ensures the biscuits remain moist and tender.
Gentle mixing is key; overworking the dough can lead to dense biscuits. Aim for a soft, pillowy texture.
This recipe, both timeless and tailored, is straightforward enough for bustling mornings yet special enough for Sunday dinners. Embrace the comfort, the simplicity, and the homemade taste that evokes memories of home and heart. Here’s to happy baking and the joy of sharing these little bundles of warmth.
