Mama's ' Bestest' Biscuits

This recipe was easy and the results were great! I would never have thought about using mayonnaise, sooo much better than shortening. We used Fat Free milk. Next time I'll try adding herbs so we can make tiny herb biscuit sandwiches with thinly sliced ham and smoked turkey. Thanks Mama!

These biscuits were so yummy with chicken and gravy over them!! I did have to substitute 1/2 the milk with 1/2 & 1/2 as I did not have enough milk. When mixing I was worried as my dough was dry. I added about another tbsp. of 1/2 and 1/2 leaving my dough still on the dry side. I carried on without adding anymore. Even without following the recipe as written (too cold to go out for just milk)I was rewarded with great biscuits! I can only imagine how good they would be had I actually followed the recipe! `Tis a winner in my book! Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh, Mama! Biscuits just don't get any easier than this! Tender flaky, tender and melt in your mouth delicious! I never heard of using mayo in biscuits before, but this works very well. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes, Mama!

This was the first recipe that I tried from this site. The biscuits were outstanding. My family loved them and I loved that they were so easy to make. This recipe is one I will hand down to my children.

We loved these biscuits. DH has been asking me for biscuits since we were last in the US 2 years ago - we just don't have them here - now he's happy. I'm sure I'll be making these again. Thanks for sharing this great, easy recipe.

Made for ZWT III. What a surprise this recipe was. I didn't believe that it could be so easy to make such great biscuits. I cut this recipe in half and the biscuits turned out beautifully. These were perfect with my fried chicken dinner, and I know these would be great with sausage gravy. No more Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits for me. From now on I am going to make these biscuits.

Made these for dinner. My family liked them, nice texture, great with the soup we had. Really easy to make. Will be making them again. Thank you for the recipe.

wow, this was easy. i didn't knead the dough, i prefered to leave it a bit lumpy and make drop biscuits to ensure that they would be tender and fluffy. it's true that they don't have a lot of flavor but that's what i think of when i think of a biscuit. i really don't like greasy restaurant biscuits that taste like fake butter. in my opinion, this is a perfect biscuit! thanks mama!

I made these for dinner with stew. Although very easy to make, mine didn't turn out as I expected. They barely rose and mine only made 8 traditional sized bisquits. They cooked too long at 15 minutes on 450. Mine were nice and brown on top, very hard on bottom, soft on inside. I think I will try them one more time, but adjust the temp & time. As well as add some honey to sweeten. (Hubby thought bland.) I added honey on mine so didnt notice. Sorry, it may have been my flour, so thats why I'll try again. If they turn out better the second time around I will update review.

I just made these for breakfast this morning. Wow were these easy to make and so so good!!! I am used to making them with butter, salt, baking powder etc., and was leary about using just the mayonnaise, milk and flour, but these are now my only biscuits. My son came back for seconds and said these were the best. Thank you so much for the recipe!!!!

Like these a lot but need a topping like jam or butter. Maybe a touch of honey would be nice. Will make again and loved simplicity.

I don't think you can get any easier than this! I don't think they can taste any better than this.. My husband watched me make these and kept asking "Umm, are you sure your doing it right?" Funny how all I heard out of his mouth when they were done is "Ohhh, You gotta make these more often!" My husuband is one to put butter/jam on everything, these biscuits he ate just as they were and loved em'... I am sooo happy I found this recipe.. No more store bought for our family, from NOW ON!!

The dough was very sticky even after adding some more flour. I ended up making drop biscuits instead. The flavor was delicious and my husband loved them.

These are with out a doubt the best! I've made a lot of biscuits because my husband grew up on them in W.VA. but none of my recipes were this easy. I was curious as to whether or not the real mayonaise would work as a substitute for lard,shortening or butter. But by golly it did and these are as flaky as I could ask for. And when it comes to ease, nothing could be easier than shaping the dough into a square or circle and gently precutting before baking. I was also surprised at how nicely they browned. Because some times my biscuits don't brown on top so I run them under the broiler for a minute or two to give them that golden touch. Thank you Mama!

Well, your momma's bestest is very good. Made these twice now and love to eat them each time. Thank you for a very easy, basic recipe.

Bigger than the sum of its parts! A keeper!! Also tried it with buttermilk (and a healthy pinch of baking soda) -- STUNNING!

These low-fat biscuits are a real winner in appearance, taste, and texture! I was totally surprised at how good they are and easy to whip up. My Taste Of Home magazine chart said to add 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp baking soda for each cup of flour, so that is what I used to sub for the self rising flour. The only problem I had was my dough was too runny and I didn't want to add too much more flour so I ended up making drop biscuits instead. They turned out a lovely golden brown and were light, moist, and delicious! What more could you ask for? Thank you Mama for a wonderful recipe!
