Mayonnaise is serious business in the South.
Just like a football team, you will be asked topick a favorite.

Regional favorites reign, from Blue Plate to Bama to Dukes and even Hellmans.
As a Carolinas native, my favorite is Dukes.
Regardless of brand affinity, mayonnaise is a pantry staple across the country.

Combine the two with a little half-and-half or milk, and you have these three-ingredient savory muffins.
However, if milk is all you have, my grandmother would say go with what you got.
These muffins feel like a baking party trick that tastes much richer than the time investment would suggest.
Lightly grease the cups of a 12-cup standard muffin pan.
In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour and mayonnaise until loosely combined.
Slowly add the half and half or milk and continue whisking until the batter becomes smooth.
Youre going for a lump-free consistency.
Divide the batter equally between the greased muffin cups so that they are about 2/3 full.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Gently reheat before serving.
If You Dont Have Self-Rising Flour
Its easy to whip up with pantry ingredients at home.
For this recipe, add 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour to a bowl.
Remove 3 1/2 teaspoons.
Add 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Proceed with the recipe as written.
A Sweet Variation
Instead of putting jam on a warm muffin, bake it in!
These are great as part of a brunch spread or holiday gathering.
