When you need soft, fluffy biscuits without fuss, these Simple Mayonnaise Amish Flaky Biscuits are the answer. With just a handful of ingredients, they bake up tender, light, and beautifully layered. Mayonnaise quietly does the work of butter and eggs, creating a biscuit that’s rich, moist, and incredibly easy to prepare.

These biscuits are perfect alongside soups, served with jam at breakfast, or enjoyed warm with melting butter.

Yield: 8 Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the milk and mayonnaise. Stir gently until just combined. The dough should look soft and slightly uneven.

Personal Tip: Do not overmix. Gentle handling keeps the biscuits tender and flaky.

Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a log about 2 inches thick.

Slice into 1-inch rounds and place on the baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.

Personal Tip: Cutting instead of overhandling helps the biscuits rise taller and fluffier.

Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the biscuits are fully risen.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve

Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal.

These biscuits are especially wonderful fresh from the oven, when the inside is soft, fluffy, and steaming.

Personal Tip: Reheat gently to bring back their fresh-baked softness.
