Ten Minute Rolls
Scroll down for printable recipe card! 😁
I’m the worlds worst about planning a meal from start to finish and not thinking about the bread until we’re about ready to eat. That is where these rolls come in handy. If you work fast, you can have them ready start to finish in about ten minutes using ingredients you probably already have on hand.
The ingredients are easy and you probably already have them on hand: Mayo, Milk, Salt, and Self Rising Flour.
Now let me start this post by saying that if you are someone who doesn’t care too much for mayonnaise, you’re in good company. I’ve never been a “Ooh mayo!” type gal myself. It kinda grosses me out. Thing is, though, mayonnaise is mostly just oil and eggs so lets look at it from that perspective for the basis of this recipe- because, while I don’t care for mayo, I love these rolls.
Place your flour, mayo, milk, and salt in a bowl…
Stir that up with a spoon until it well mixed.
These are kind of a cross between a biscuit and a roll, so if you want biscuits, call them biscuits. If you want rolls, call them rolls. Easy peasy!
Now spray six cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray. I also like that this recipe just makes six, which is usually plenty for us.
Divide your batter between the muffin cups. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes.
See how easy that was? Dump in a bowl, stir, bake.
Here are our finished rolls!
Sometimes I make these for breakfast, sometimes for supper, and sometimes as a little afternoon treat.
With a recipe that just has you throwing a few ingredients together in a bowl and stirring, then cooking for eight to ten minutes, it is entirely possible to have these done start to finish in ten minutes.

A great cook knows that its not what is on the table that matters,
it is in the chairs around the table.

WOW !!! How easy is that, going to make tonight. All this talk about mayonnaise has made hungery for a Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. YUMMY
I’m an “oh shoot I forgot the bread!” at the last minute kind of gal too. I adore hoecake but I think my family may be tiring of it a bit. Can’t wait to add this to the bread basket…and I think it may be perfect to serve with pork chops tonight 🙂
I’m not the biggest fan of mayo either (unless it’s binding the perfect pimento cheese or chicken salad, that is) but this stuff does wonders to baked goods. Anyone who thinks mayo in rolls is odd might gasp that I add a half cup to almost all of my breakfast-style breads and ALL scratch made chocolate cakes! It’s a true “secret ingredient”, as you can never taste it…but it adds a moisture that’s out of this world!
Oh.Christy. These were AMAZING!!! I can’t describe how amazing these were. This is DEFINATELY a keeper (just like everything else you cook 🙂 Thank you!

It is probably very similar if not the same Dana.
I had never heard of these until I married my wonderful husband 15 years ago! His mother made these, but she added an egg to her recipe. Our children referred to her as, “Grandmommy”, so they became, “Grandmommy’s Mayonnaise Rolls.”
