SOUTHERN MAYONNAISE BISCUITS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Cut mayo into the flour - easiest to use your hands. I like to get a feel for the dough so I know I've got enough "fat" in it. The one thing I've learned is that you can't rely solely on measurements to make great biscuits. Feel is much more reliable in getting the dough just right. Once the mayo is cut in, start adding the milk a little at a time. It's easier to add more, than to try and make up for adding too much... Add milk and work the dough around the bowl until all the flour leaves the sides of the bowl and the dough "feels right". Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with flour and gently fold it onto it's self three or four times, avoiding overworking it. Don't really have to "knead" it, just fold and pat it. You can also pat it down rather than rolling it now. Pat it to around 1/2" thick. Then cut the biscuits to the size you want. If you're doing drop biscuits you can skip patting it out flat and just start tearing off dough and forming biscuits. Preheat oven to 500°F. Place the cut or "drop" biscuits on a greased pan. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake at 500°F until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter again. Finally, sit down and enjoy one of the best biscuits you've ever put in your mouth! Best served steamin' hot with whatever you like to eat with biscuits.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
- Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)
- Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

MAYONNAISE BISCUITS
This is a simple but tasty biscuit recipe. You don't taste the mayo, but it gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture. For rolled and cut biscuits, use just enough milk to hold it together.

Tips:
- Use high-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is a key ingredient in these biscuits, so make sure to use a good-quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that is made with artificial ingredients or trans fats.
- Use cold butter: The cold butter will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before grating it.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, and then stop.
- Roll the dough out evenly: The biscuits will rise more evenly if you roll the dough out to an even thickness. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Cut the biscuits close together: Cutting the biscuits close together will help them to rise higher. Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits, and try to cut them as close together as possible.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: The biscuits will bake more evenly if you preheat the oven to a high temperature. Bake the biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
These southern biscuits with mayonnaise are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
