These get a 5 for ease..and taste too! I was out of shortening and too lazy to go to the store, found this recipe. So easy to make, I only would have like them more if they became more of a golden brown, but nonetheless, they were tasty. I ate two before I presented them to my husband! Will make again --great for breakfast too.

I can't believe how light and fluffy these biscuits came out! To top that off - I can't believe mayo makes these biscuits so good and you can't even taste it!! I bet my hubby and sister $100 bucks if they could tell me the "odd" ingredient in the biscuits after they ate them all! I still have my $100 dollars!

Really good biscuits. I was working frantically in the kitchen, behind schedule for dinner, with only 20 minutes left. I dumped the ingredients for these biscuits into a bowl, added some garlic powder and dried parsley and dropped them onto a cookie sheet. 14 minutes later, they were done - a soft, warm, flavorful biscuit that went really well with the Cheesy Chicken and Chive Sauce pasta recipe on this site and earned me a lot of praise. Will definitely make these again. Thanks for the recipe!

Thank You George! I was out of shortening and had already begun the process of making plum dumplings. The plums were simmering and I couldn't make my usual drop biscuit recipe which is what I usually use for dumplings. Your recipe lent itself to healthier substitutions. I made my own self-rising flour with 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup unbleached white flour, 1 TBSP baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt. I also added 2 TBSP of sugar to the recipe due to using it for a dessert dish. The dumplings turned out beautifully! I will be using this recipe for my dumplings from now on, it was so easy!

I made these because I was out of shortening and did not have time to go to the store. They were very good. They probably will not replace my old recipe but this recipe is quick and good. I did substitute buttermilk for the regular milk.

The batter was quite runny. It seemed better after letting half of it sit through the baking of the first batch. Will add more flour or less milk & mayo next time or let the batter sit for 15 minutes. Taste was excellent though!

I was so dissapointed in these biscuits. Very bland. No flavor. I used Duke's mayonnaise and still no flavor. Did I miss something? I have had much better drop biscuits.

These biscuits were very light, fluffy and delicious! I've always made baking mix biscuits and these were a pleasant change. Super simple to make, this biscuit recipe is definitely a keeper!

The biscuits came out light and fluffy.I didn't care much for the flavor. I used a no fat mayo dressing, hence little flavor. Actually, it had a bad after taste. My family enjoyed them completely. I will definetly try again but next time I will use real mayo. I might even add some seasonings: basil, onion bits, pepper... I think they would also be good topped with some parmasean or asiago cheese. These biscuits have potential!

I have made these twice since finding the recipe, the first time using mayo, the second time using Miracle Whip. They were equally very good, just a tad less flavor with the MW. Either way, no more being the butt of the biscuit-baking jokes! Thanks!

Very Delicious! This is more the texture of a light roll, than a biscuit. I did not have self rising flour, so I put 2 cups all purpose flour in a bowl, then took out 4 tsp. and then added 3 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp salt. You must use real mayo, not Miracle Whip. Don't even rate the recipe if you use miracle whip, because the roll will not have much flavor. The batter will be sticky, so just use a dash of flour to help if need be. I used about 2 tbsp. of the mixture and just dropped it on the baking sheet. They cooked in exactly 12 minutes. So good!!!! Thanks!

These were quite good, and easy! Instead of dropping the biscuits, I shaped them in my hands with a little dusting flour. Not as much work as rolling them out, but came out close to that. Will definitely keep this recipe!

Since I can somehow manage to make even boxed mix biscuits look and taste like hockey pucks, I thought I'd give this recipe a whirl considering the short list of ingredients (and plenty of rave reviews). Used skim milk and f/f mayo and was pleased they turned out so moist and light. Now I am no longer biscuit-ly challenged.... Thanks!
