SEO Title: 3-Ingredient Mayonnaise Biscuits – Soft, Fluffy, and Foolproof
Meta Description: These mayonnaise biscuits are soft, golden, and incredibly easy to make with just 3 ingredients. No kneading, no fuss—just perfect Southern biscuits every time.
Sometimes, the simplest recipes are the ones we keep coming back to.
Let me tell you, these mayonnaise biscuits are the kind of thing you make once, and suddenly they’re a part of your regular kitchen rhythm. Just three humble ingredients—self-rising flour, milk, and mayonnaise—but together, they bake up into the softest, fluffiest little biscuits you ever did see.
No kneading, no rolling, no biscuit cutter needed. Just stir it all together, scoop it into a muffin tin, and bake. My kind of recipe.
I first started making these on busy weeknights when I needed something quick to go with chicken and rice, soup, or even just some good old-fashioned jam. But the more I made them, the more I realized—these little biscuits can hold their own.

🧂 Ingredients (Just Three!)
-
6 tablespoons mayonnaise – This is what makes them so tender!
-
1 cup whole milk or buttermilk – Buttermilk adds a nice tang, but either one works great.
-
2 cups self-rising flour – Don’t have any? See notes below for a quick DIY version.
🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, milk, and self-rising flour until just combined. Don’t overmix—just enough to get everything moistened.
-
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Scoop the biscuit batter evenly into each cup. You should get about 12 biscuits.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are just set.
-
If you want that beautiful golden finish, turn on the broiler for 1–2 minutes and keep an eye on them.
-
Let cool slightly and serve warm!

✨ Tips & Variations
-
Don’t have self-rising flour? You can make your own! Just mix:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
-
Add cheese or herbs to the mix for a savory twist—cheddar, parsley, or chives are great!
-
These reheat beautifully. Just pop them in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes to warm through.
🍽️ How to Serve Mayonnaise Biscuits
Oh honey, the possibilities are endless:
-
With chicken and rice (of course!)
-
Alongside chili or soup
-
Split open and slathered with butter and jam
-
Or eaten straight from the pan when no one’s looking 😉
They’re also the perfect “bread basket” biscuit for big family dinners or potlucks. No one ever guesses how easy they are—and you don’t have to tell ‘em unless you want to!
