Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for No-Butter Mayonnaise Biscuits that are not only quick to whip up but also incredibly delicious. You won’t believe how easy it is to make these fluffy treats without any butter!

- Easy
- Giftable
- Crowd-pleasing
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour: The foundation for our biscuits, providing that fluffy texture.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder: This will help our biscuits rise beautifully.
- 1 teaspoon salt: A little salt enhances all the flavors.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise: The secret ingredient that keeps these biscuits moist and adds a rich flavor.
- 3/4 cup milk: This brings everything together into a soft, workable dough.
How to Make No-Butter Mayonnaise Biscuits
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making these delightful biscuits!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your biscuits bake evenly and become golden brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything together.
- Add the mayonnaise to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Trust me, this step is key to achieving that perfect texture.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. You want to bring it together without overworking it.
- Roll or pat the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. This thickness is perfect for fluffy biscuits!
- Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I like to use a glass if I don’t have a cutter handy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible!
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
Substitutions & Additions
If you want to get creative, consider these fun substitutions:
- Swap out all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory flavor.
- Mix in shredded cheese, like cheddar, for cheesy goodness.
- For a sweet touch, try adding a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruits.
Tips for Success
Here are a few tips to ensure your biscuits turn out perfectly every time:
- Avoid over-kneading the dough; it can make the biscuits tough.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
- You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake.
How to Store No-Butter Mayonnaise Biscuits
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy them again!
FAQs
- Can I use another type of mayonnaise? Yes, feel free to use light or flavored mayonnaise for a different taste.
- What can I serve with these biscuits? They pair wonderfully with jam, honey, or even as a side for soups and stews.
