Biscuit with jam

RECIPE: SOUTHERN DROP BISCUITS

Ingredients

1 cup milk

1/3 cup Blue Plate® Mayonnaise

2 cups self-rising* flour

Preparation

PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large cookie sheet with nonstick spray, or
cover with parchment or a silicone mat.

MIX milk and mayonnaise with a whisk in a large bowl. Whisk in flour slowly,
whisking just enough to combine. Scrape down sides. If mixture is too thin, add
additional flour in ¼ cup increments until dough can be scooped.

DROP about 2 tablespoons dough at a time onto the prepared cookie sheet, about
2 inches apart. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm. Wrap
leftovers and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.

*If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 3
teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
