These fluffy mayo muffin biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic biscuit recipe, offering a tender and moist texture with a rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of butter for greasing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, milk, mayonnaise, and optional garlic powder until the mixture is smooth.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the biscuits tough.
If using, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Adding cheese gives a delightful savory flavor to the biscuits.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Fill each cup about three-quarters full for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
