These fluffy homemade biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Preheating ensures the biscuits bake evenly and rise properly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, mayonnaise, and milk until a soft dough forms.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough onto it.
Use just enough flour to prevent sticking, but not too much to keep the biscuits tender.
Gently pat the dough into a square about 1 inch thick.
Avoid using a rolling pin to keep the dough light and airy.
Cut the dough into 12 squares using a sharp knife.
A sharp knife ensures clean cuts, helping the biscuits rise evenly.
Place the squares on a lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
Spacing the biscuits allows them to bake evenly and develop a nice crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Keep an eye on the biscuits towards the end of the baking time to prevent overbrowning.
Brush the tops with melted butter and serve warm.
Brushing with butter adds a delicious flavor and a shiny finish.
