Although I love bisquick, I gave it up when our last mega-box ran out. I just did not feel right about making biscuits out of what appeared to be flour and milk. It just did not add up to me.

So, today, in celebration of fall (I wish that it was not coming this quickly), I made homemade biscuits. I looked for recipes online because I do know that it is possible to make food with actual flour. Not everything has to come from a box or your local grocers freezer aisle. I found a recipe that called for 10 cups of flour. And I was terribly vexed by this. First of all, only two out of three people in my household eat actual food. Second, who wants to actually measure out TEN cups of flour. Third, what the heck am I supposed to mix that in. So that obviously was not the recipe that I made.

I did find another one that called for six tablespoons of mayonnaise. I was a little hesitant, but it only wanted two cups of flour. How reasonable and fair. I have also heard that mayonnaise is very moist when you cook with it. Some people use it in cakes, I am not one of those people. But I have heard of such things.

So this is what I did, and it turned out very well.

Drop Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons mayonnaise

or here is a healthier version (this is the one that I actually used)

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons mayonnaise

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, milk, and mayonnaise until just blended. Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. It took me about 15 or 16 minutes until they looked done.

We had them with a couple cans of Progresso soup. It was a yummy dinner.
