These Southern-style fluffy biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a light and tender texture with a rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a perfect rise for your biscuits.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and salt.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures an even distribution of salt.
Add the mayonnaise and butter to the dry ingredients and mix gently until crumbly.
Use a light hand to avoid overmixing, which can make the biscuits tough.
Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together.
The dough should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.
Scoop the dough onto a greased baking sheet, forming 12 equal portions.
Using an ice cream scoop can help create evenly sized biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the biscuits to prevent overbaking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings for the best experience.
