Is there anything mayonnaise can't do? It brings creaminess to tuna, potato, and pasta salads, is a great marinade for steak and other meats, and is even used in chocolate cake, a handy trick since it combines the oil and eggs that are usually called for separately in just one ingredient. As it turns out, mayonnaise is often called for in baking recipes, said to bring tenderness to items such as pancakes — and it's a handy ingredient for using in biscuits, as well.
According to AllRecipes, a simple recipe calling for self-rising flour, milk, and mayonnaise turns out light and fluffy biscuits; The Spruce Eats lists a similar recipe, stressing that you don't taste the mayonnaise at all, and explaining that the vinegar included in mayo acts as a tenderizing agent to create a wonderful texture in the biscuits. Rather than being rolled and cut, mayonnaise biscuits are drop biscuits, using just enough milk to hold them together before being dropped onto a baking sheet or into a muffin pan.
So the next time you're craving biscuits but don't have all the traditional ingredients on hand, reach for a bag of flour, a jar of mayo, and some milk, and tender biscuits can be yours in less than 15 minutes.
