Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
Add the mayonnaise and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Optional: While the biscuits are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter for added flavor and shine.
Serve the mayonnaise biscuits warm, either plain or with your favorite toppings such as honey, butter, or jam.
