Never heard of such a thing. The Google has recipes though, looks to be self rising flour, mayo and milk. One recipe says you can't taste the mayo but I'm not taking a chance. That stuff gives me the heebees. : )

Thanks for that link. They were drop or roll biscuits, not muffin pan type. I should just experiment. maybe less milk. It was a 1:2:3 or 4 ratio. I should have been easy to remember.

It occurred to me that herry might be from Europe, and biscuits = cookies. I hope I did not scare them off with the mayo.

I never measure the milk when I make biscuits but I think they would come out just fine if you used two cups self rising flour and 1/4 cup of any kind of fat (including mayo) and enough milk to make the dough however stiff or loose you wanted it to be.

Just as a side note: you can make a decent biscuit or cornbread without any milk by substituting a couple blobs of sour cream and water. No milk drinkers here so it's not something we always have on hand.

It's not exactly baking... but I got some pizza crust w/ garlic in it rising now. Going to have a fresh pie with the tomato sauce I let simmer all evening. I only canned a little bit of it and saved some out for a pizza. Yum!

Thanks you all! My husband made the boy scouts a camp oven out of a garbage can. They make pizza and bake chickens on their camp outs. I think they will enjoy these, if only for the same reason I did when I was their age.
It was fun.

and so much easier than cutting in shortening.
I think I will try some tonight with dinner.

Kenk, when I was in high school my bio2 teacher gave us a cornbread pudding recipe that was:
one box jiffy cornbread mix,
one small can of creamed corn,
and 8oz or sour cream.
mix together, pour in a casserole dish and bake.
That became a family favorite mainly because it was so quick and easy, but it was fancy and delicious too.


WAIT A MINUTE! In the mayo instructions...did they have that whisk attacked to their drill? Why didn't I think of that? I spent good money on a wimpy stick blender when the husband has a dozen battery drills littering up the place? I feel less than frugal and clever.

I made a strawberry rhubarb crisp this morning and I'm making strawberry homemade ice cream to go with it.

Glad you liked the cake. I find it quick and easy and I like the variety of it as well.
