These mayonnaise biscuits are simple but tasty. You can’t taste the mayonnaise, but it gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture. For rolled and cut biscuits, use just enough milk to hold the dough together.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Stir flour, milk, and mayonnaise together in a large bowl until just blended. Drop 12 spoonfuls dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Fab recipe! I used regular flour (ad 2 1/2 t baking powder and 1/2 t salt). I also added ( on a lark) 1/2 black pepper, 1/2 t. onion powder, 1 t dried parsley and 1/2 C grated parm/romano blend. Nice and light, very fluffy — My guys loved them!
-
Fast, easy, insxpensive recipe for light fluffy tasty homemade biscuits! You’ve got to try them! This recipe is found in many Southern cookbooks, you will just love them!
-
So simple, SOOOO GOOOOOD! Made 4 batches in 3 days. Great as is. Added 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives and 1 teaspoon dried parsley to one batch. In another batch, I put a base amount on the baking sheet then added a spoonful of raspberry jam and covered it with another layer of biscuit dough and sealed the edges = Fresh Hot Scones. This recipe is too good. Thanks.
-
Yum! These biscuits come out very light and fluffy with a rich (but not too rich) taste and mouthfeel. If you don’t have self-rising flour (like me), use 2 cups less 4 tsp. sifted flour, 3 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. salt.
-
These are the best tasting, fluffiest biscuits I have ever made. Adding the mayonnaise sounded a little strange, but this recipe is a keeper! The family loved them. None left over either!
-
Simple and yummy……
-
These were light but didn’t raise very much. Could have been because my flour wasn’t real fresh but they were good.
-
I have been searching for a biscuit recipe just like this one! They were super easy, light, fluffy, and great tasting. This will be a regular at our dinner table. Thanks Georgie!!!!
-
These biscuits are so easy and delicious.They are fluffy,crispy on the outside, and have a good flavor.Try them, you will love this recipe!
-
Wasn’t too sure about these, but thought “What the hey”. Made them and my dh and I ate them all with one dinner. These have re-placed my favorite drop biscuit recipe and will be all I make from now on. Can add cheese and garlic and what have you to change them a little. Thanks. Myrna
-
Sad to say, these were not good. I followed the recipe exactly, and the batter was the consistency of pancake batter…not good for biscuits. The texture was mealy and the flavor was thin. My husband took one bite and no more. very disappoint…is the recipe correct?
-
very good. light and fluffy. The batter was nice and thick like a biscuit batter should be. Much better than the southern mayonnaise biscuits also found on this site. Very plain tasting. I like it just the way it is, but next time I might use the new, lowfat, flavored, mayo’s out there eg. tomato bacon flavor. Will make again, so quick and easy.
-
This recipe ROCKS! I thought it sounded strange, but I’m so glad I tried it! Also made it adding garlic powder, chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese. YUMMY!
-
These were the best biscuits ever. They were so soft and just delicious. I can’t believe how easy they were to make. I love homemade biscuits but rarely get them to turn out. These were perfect. Thanks so much!!!
-
These are so quick and easy to make. They have a unique taste and went great with the awesome pot roast slow cooker pot roast recipe from this site.
-
The first time I made these, I was sure I must have done something wrong. The consistancy was off, and the flavor was rather bland. They didn’t taste bad, but they just didn’t seem like biscuits to me or my family.
-
I tried this recipe while snowed in and unable to get to the store. I did not have my usually ingredients for biscuits, so I went searching for a new recipe. I had tried the bisquik in the cupboard, only to make some hockey puck biscuits – the bisquik had expired 9 months previously.
When I found this recipe – simple as it was – the only ingredient I had was mayonnaise. I used dry milk and all-purpose flour and baking powder. I used less liquid and rolled the biscuits instead of dropping them. Since I had had the earlier bad bisquik experience, I baked a couple before dinner. They were absolutely fabulous biscuits! I couldn’t believe that mayonnaise could possible make good biscuits. A few hours later, I baked the rest of them. They still tasted good, but the texture was not as good. Moral of the story? Cook them quickly. For whatever reason, they do not “sit” well.
I would also recommend making sure you use Mayonnaise and not salad dressing or Miracle Whip.
-
I usually use the J.P. Big Daddy Biscuits from this site. I tried this recipe beccause I am always looking for something new. The taste was very good with melted butter on top; better than that of J.P’s . That said I have to say I like the heighth that I get from J.P’s biscuits better than these. I would really like to be able to blend the two recipes somehow.
-
FINALLY! I have found a biscuit recipe that turns out. I have never been able to make biscuits until now, they came out perfect. My whole family loved them. If I can make these, ANYONE can!!
-
This is such an easy recipe! Seriously could not be easier. They rose beautifully for me & were not too dry. I served them with sausage gravy & the teenagers I had over said it made for the best breakfast they had ever had.
-
I’ve used this simple and delicious recipe for years, but I put the dough in a greased muffin pan. I’ve found that whole milk adds more flavor, but 1% works as well.
-
I wanted to try this recipe, but only had skim milk and fat free mayo on hand. I didn’t think they would turn out without fat, but they were excellent. Now I have an extremely simple fat free biscuit recipe! This recipe is also an excellent base to which you could add any seasoning like cheese, garlic, etc.
-
It was an easy recipe….and is o.k. if you need some quick biscuits. The flavor could use some improvements.
-
this was a great biscuit, will def make again nice and fluffy will put a lil sugar in it next i like em sweet
-
Yum! So easy!
-
LOVE these biscuits! So easy and so yummy. I will be using this recipe for now on. P.S I have found that they are great with breakfast, dinner, or just to snack on with a good butter spread. Thank you for sharing.
-
I came home late tonight to a starving family. I pulled out some soup and whipped up these biscuits. In 15 minutes, dinner was on the table. Maybe there are some biscuit recipes that taste a very little bit better, but when you factor in ease of preparation, these biscuits are the best I’ve come across.
-
This was great! I have only made homemade biscuits once before and they were hockey pucks. THese are fluffy, delicious and EASY! I used the reccomendation for what to do without self rising flour, and they rose perfectly and taste delicious! This is definitely my top recipe from here.
-
Delicious! I am not blessed with biscuit making skills. So the fact that my husband and father loved these speaks volumes. They are soft and tasty and go with any meal. And since I tend to “pop open” my biscuts, these were just as easy to make.
-
These biscuits are very easy and quick to make and they look very nice coming out of the oven. The only issue I had was that they weren’t that flavorful and tasted a tad bit like flour. I will definitely make again but may add a little sugar or butter flavored shortening.
-
If you are looking for a quick, easy biscuit recipe that actually tastes homemade, this is it. My husband loved these! I loved how easy it was to make.
-
Quite simple and good. Perhaps I have a sensitive nose, but I could smell the mayo. That might’ve been cos I used Miracle Whip Light instead of mayo. They were still good!!
-
These were easy and great for an addition to any family meal. I think that I will give them a try with garlic and cheese added next time just for fun!
-
I was searching for a quick and simple Biscuit Recipe since I was running low on certain ingredients this recipe was as simple as they get. On 2nd batch I added some Garlic Powder,Parmesan Cheese, Crumbled Bacon Bits, and Chives. Definitely a Keeper in my Book!
-
I was very pleased with these light fluffy biscuits. I had reservations about the mayonnaise but it turned out great. I did add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the batter.
-
I was hungry a few minutes ago and didn’t have a lot of ingredients at hand. Now I’m eating these, hot from the oven. So easy to make and yummy!
-
These were super easy to make. The consistency was a little weird before baking them, but they turned out just fine. I also added a little salt to the mixture and when they were finished baking I brushed them with melted butter. I had sausage and eggs and gravy with them one night for dinner. My husband must have enjoyed them, he had 4 in one sitting.
-
A classic mayonnaise biscuit with a great texture. I’ve also made these with regular flour — just add three teaspoons of baking powder and about a teaspoon of salt to the flour before mixing with the other ingredients.
-
In my opinion, it should be better than 5 stars. This recipe was DELICIOUS ~ I couldn’t stop eating them!!! I didn’t have self-rising flour so instead I used: 2 cups of regular flour minus 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Excellent recipe – Thanks a lot. I will definitely be making these again!!!!!
-
It doesn’t get any easier than this, folks! I’ve never been so impressed with a biscuit recipe. It has it all, ease, frugalness, quickness, and the yummy factor. I’ve made them several times, and they just get better each time. I have used them as a dinner roll, with sausage gravy for breakfast, and with homemade jam, it compliments any meal!
-
These biscuits were very good. There was a slight salty flavor though and no buttery taste. Other than that…awesome. They were my first batch of biscuits EVER and turned out perfectly!
-
My family loves these biscuits! And they are awesomely easy to mix up and drop. I have found that if I pat the tops down (with floured hands) after dropping them, they look much nicer. No little spikes on top!
-
This is a really good recipe. The biscuits were very good and it was quick and easy. It is similar to my roll recipe except I add a little sugar and cook them in muffin pans.
-
Super easy and fast – I used these as part of a casserole, and they worked very well. The flavor is much better than a canned biscuit and they are a healthier option if you use lowfat mayo. Definitely a keeper, thanks!
-
These are bland dense lumps of flour with no “airyness” whatsoever. Made because I was short on time, next time I’ll MAKE time.
-
I love these! We use to make them growing up and I had completely forgotten about them until I saw this recipe. They are super easy and turn out well even when using fat free mayo. When you need biscuits fast, this is the recipe to go to.
-
wow! simple recipe with good results. great when you’re in a jam or just want something easy, but freshly baked. they did come out a bit sharp and edgy the first time, so i followed the suggestion of patting the tops down a bit. when time allows and to make it feel more like baking, i add a bit of butter, sugar,salt and baking powder (to make it fluffier). i’m serving it with the creamy veg chowder (also on all recipes) tonight and will try adding some flavour to it (the biscuits) – maybe basil, dill or cheese…
-
So fluffy! I was hesitant to try this recipe but with so many great reviews I couldn’t resist. Like others I used 2 cups flour – 3tsp, added 2 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. I also added shredded cheddar and some freeze-dried garlic. The texture reminds me of the biscuits you get with gravy at McDonalds. Sooooooo yummy!
-
These were so moist, so easy, and so delicious! They don’t taste so great with honey and they don’t have the best presentation, but yummy nonetheless. At first I thought I had measured something incorrectly because the dough wasn’t as stiff as I was expecting but it turned out great once out of the oven. I used lite mayonaise and I wish I had baked them for maybe 15 minutes instead of 12 minutes. Next time I’ll try the butter/garlic mixture from “Cheddar Bay Biscuits.”
-
These are soooo good! I love the light moist texture.
-
Since I can somehow manage to make even boxed mix biscuits look and taste like hockey pucks, I thought I’d give this recipe a whirl considering the short list of ingredients (and plenty of rave reviews). Used skim milk and f/f mayo and was pleased they turned out so moist and light. Now I am no longer biscuit-ly challenged…. Thanks!
-
These were quite good, and easy! Instead of dropping the biscuits, I shaped them in my hands with a little dusting flour. Not as much work as rolling them out, but came out close to that. Will definitely keep this recipe!
-
Very Delicious! This is more the texture of a light roll, than a biscuit. I did not have self rising flour, so I put 2 cups all purpose flour in a bowl, then took out 4 tsp. and then added 3 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp salt. You must use real mayo, not Miracle Whip. Don’t even rate the recipe if you use miracle whip, because the roll will not have much flavor. The batter will be sticky, so just use a dash of flour to help if need be. I used about 2 tbsp. of the mixture and just dropped it on the baking sheet. They cooked in exactly 12 minutes. So good!!!! Thanks!
-
Yummy! Thanks, George.
-
Mmmmmmm…..
-
I have made these twice since finding the recipe, the first time using mayo, the second time using Miracle Whip. They were equally very good, just a tad less flavor with the MW. Either way, no more being the butt of the biscuit-baking jokes! Thanks!
-
These were easy, smelled good, had a nice flavor, but mine came out really heavy. I’m goung to try one more time!
-
The biscuits came out light and fluffy.I didn’t care much for the flavor. I used a no fat mayo dressing, hence little flavor. Actually, it had a bad after taste. My family enjoyed them completely. I will definetly try again but next time I will use real mayo. I might even add some seasonings: basil, onion bits, pepper… I think they would also be good topped with some parmasean or asiago cheese. These biscuits have potential!
-
Quick and tasty.
-
These biscuits were very light, fluffy and delicious! I’ve always made baking mix biscuits and these were a pleasant change. Super simple to make, this biscuit recipe is definitely a keeper!
-
I was so dissapointed in these biscuits. Very bland. No flavor. I used Duke’s mayonnaise and still no flavor. Did I miss something? I have had much better drop biscuits.
-
The batter was quite runny. It seemed better after letting half of it sit through the baking of the first batch. Will add more flour or less milk & mayo next time or let the batter sit for 15 minutes. Taste was excellent though!
-
these turne out perfect. They stick to your ribs and taste great with honey and butter.
-
I made these because I was out of shortening and did not have time to go to the store. They were very good. They probably will not replace my old recipe but this recipe is quick and good. I did substitute buttermilk for the regular milk.
-
Thank You George!
I was out of shortening and had already begun the process of making plum dumplings. The plums were simmering and I couldn’t make my usual drop biscuit recipe which is what I usually use for dumplings.
Your recipe lent itself to healthier substitutions. I made my own self-rising flour with 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup unbleached white flour, 1 TBSP baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt. I also added 2 TBSP of sugar to the recipe due to using it for a dessert dish.
The dumplings turned out beautifully! I will be using this recipe for my dumplings from now on, it was so easy!
-
Very good although they required 15 minutes of cooking time instead of 12…
-
Super easy and super good! I used Miracle Whip and they turned out fine.
-
Really good biscuits. I was working frantically in the kitchen, behind schedule for dinner, with only 20 minutes left. I dumped the ingredients for these biscuits into a bowl, added some garlic powder and dried parsley and dropped them onto a cookie sheet. 14 minutes later, they were done – a soft, warm, flavorful biscuit that went really well with the Cheesy Chicken and Chive Sauce pasta recipe on this site and earned me a lot of praise. Will definitely make these again. Thanks for the recipe!
-
I can’t believe how light and fluffy these biscuits came out! To top that off – I can’t believe mayo makes these biscuits so good and you can’t even taste it!! I bet my hubby and sister $100 bucks if they could tell me the “odd” ingredient in the biscuits after they ate them all! I still have my $100 dollars!
-
These get a 5 for ease..and taste too! I was out of shortening and too lazy to go to the store, found this recipe. So easy to make, I only would have like them more if they became more of a golden brown, but nonetheless, they were tasty. I ate two before I presented them to my husband! Will make again –great for breakfast too.
-
These are delicious and TOO EASY! Have soup simmering on the stove and trying to decide what to serve with it. I’ve eaten two already and my family isn’t even home for dinner! Think I’ll make another batch to be on the safe side. Thanks for this terrific recipe. It’ll be a tradition around here, I’m sure.
-
Wow!! Georgie you have really out done yourself :o) These are absolutely the easiest most delicious biscuits imaginable. Thank you, I will making and baking these for years to come.
-
These were not to my taste, nobody liked them.
-
Thanks, “oz heelee,” for the suggestion to add parm cheese and chives – great flavor. Would probably be even better with asiago cheese! However, rated this 3 stars because texture was heavier than I would like, not light & fluffy like others said. I may have overmixed it, though, and I didn’t have self-rising flour. (I used the suggestion to take out 1TB of the 2 c. of all-purpose flour and add 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt). Maybe the flour makes a difference? Decent recipe but I was not impressed.
-
EASY!! I used whole milk the first time, cut the recipe in 1/2 and used non fat milk this time. Both times they turned out great. Perfect for my husband and I. I don’t think I’ll ever buy refrigerated biscuits again, these are toooo simple and all the ingredients are sitting in the cupboard!
-
wow! I had never thought about using mayo in biscuts, and these were great!! my 3 kids loved them!!Thanks for a great recipe
-
These were very easy and quick. I was short on time, so tried this recipe. They turned out fine, served with honey and jam. The kids loved them. I found them to be light and airy. I mixed them until just combined. Do not over beat.
-
Super easy, super fast and super-available ingredients! These are great, quick drop biscuits. They were light, fluffy and superfast to make. I have also substituted buttermilk for the milk and it turned out super moist and slightly tangy. No need for salt, since there’s salt in the mayo. These don’t have a dense, old fashioned bisuit texture, but if you need bread with dinner, this is perfect and much tastier than Bisquick. Have also brushed the top with melted buter before baking for nice color/flavor. And DO NOT overmix. If it looks like 4-5 strokes away from being done, then it IS done. I usually mix it 5-7 strokes total, no more, or else you’ll get a heavy, flat biscuit. Try this- great to make with kids too!
-
These were actually….good! I was skeptical, but figured I would try since it was such a short and easy process. I used all-purpose flour and as a result, threw in 1.5t of baking powder and .5t of salt (I halved the recipe). These paired well with my Hungarian Mushroom Soup (also from AR) and you really couldn’t taste the mayo! Thanks for the recipe.
-
I found this recipe because I was out of shortening. These were great for biscuits and gravy this morning. I dont think I would serve them as dinner biscuits, because they were a bit crumbly and it would be difficult to spread butter or jam on them, but the flavor and texture was great. Thanks@!
-
Sooooooooo Yummy!!!!! Very easy to make and very light and fluffy. My family thanks you!!!
-
Not bad! I didn’t have the self-rising flour, so I used 2 cups flour less about 2 TBS, and I added maybe ? tsp salt and 2 tsp baking powder. I didn’t want drop biscuits so I kneaded the dough a couple times on a floured board and then rolled it to about 3/4″ thick. I used a 2″ round cutter and placed the biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet. I cut the heat down to 375 as they were browning too fast on the bottom.. They were pretty good! The leftovers DID get really hard really fast, so they got chucked, but this is a great recipe in a pinch. Thanks, Georgie!
-
I love this recipe! I made it because of the ease/simplicity. They were so light and fluffy, and they go with everything! My hubby and kids love them!
-
These are very special, yet quick and easy biscuits. I’m always surprised how little effort they take because they taste sooo goood.
-
These are pretty good – different too. I used light mayonnnaise. It worked well.
-
If you like big, soft, yummy biscuits, these are for you! And they’re EASY!! 3 ingredients, that’s all!! No more rock-hard biscuits for my family! These are the best I’ve ever made!
-
After trying numerous buscuit recipes, I finally found one that my husband loves! Dough even feels lighter and fluffier when working with it. I made them with less milk as suggested for cut- out biscuits and they were wonderful!
-
The first time I made these for my husband he was wowed that I made something so good in such little time. These are a keeper! Keep your eye on them, I have had them get a little dry on me because I made them smaller than usual and they cooked a bit too long. They are great to add different ingredients too for a dinner biscuit!
-
When I saw this recipe, I thought it had to be too good to be true. But they really are that good and that easy! I didn’t have self-rising flour so I added 1 Tbs. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to the flour. They are really yummy with butter and honey.
-
These are the best biscuits I have ever made. They do need a little flavor, but very easy and worth making.
-
Fantastic! I’ve never had luck making biscuits from scratch, but this one is foolproof. My preschooler helped me out and we were both so proud. I used regular flour with the addition of 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. We served it with a chicken stew and it was just right, with a few left over for breakfast.
-
These are awesome! I love these biscuits. My mom and I have been looking for a biscuit recipe that doesnt call for lard and still light and fluffy. Found it!! Super quick & easy to make and cooks in just about 12 minutes. Look no further and make these biscuits!
-
My boyfriend and I were looking for a biscuit recipe without a lot of butter or lard since we are trying to eat healthy. We used reduced fat mayonnaise (only 40 calories) and 2% milk for this recipe and it turned out perfect. So delicious and very low fat and low calorie. We will definetly make these again.
-
I didn’t have self-rising flour, so I took the advice of others and added baking powder and salt. The biscuits were a little dense, but next time I will try not using fat-free mayo and will use self-rising flour. The density was perfect, however, for our homemade hamburgers. I’m happy about how healthy these biscuits are compared to other recipes using biscuit mix, eggs, etc. Definitely worth making again!
-
Prior to this recipe, I had only been successful at making hockey pucks! The only change I made was to use buttermilk instead of regular milk. All I can say is WOW! Even my southern mother in law (who makes perfect biscuits) thought these were excellent. Thanks for sharing. This is DEFINITELY a keeper!
-
I loved these because they were so easy! I like how they lend themselves to creative add-ins.
-
I keep making these again and again! Everyone loves them and they are super easy. These are especially tasty with some dill butter smeared on top!
-
Wonderful biscuit recipe! Worked well with gravy and then tried with jelly. Too easy and a great recipe as is or with add ins. Thanks!
-
These biscuits are great. My whole family LOVED them. and im deff. making these in the future.
thanks for this amazing recipe!!
[= -
This recipe was VERY easy and quick. They are good, standard biscuits, better than Bisquick.
