Mayonnaise Biscuits

     With just a few ingredients, a mixing bowl and a hot dutch oven you can dazzle your guests with these light, flaky biscuits.  Except for a ready made packaged mix, this is about the easiest biscuit recipe you'll ever find.  Drop them into your dutch oven with a spoon, brush with butter, bake and you'll be amazed by the down home flavor of these soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, golden nuggets.  Drizzle them with a little honey and you'll wonder how anything so good could ever be made with so few ingredients.  I baked these in a 10 inch oven with 10 coals in a ring on the bottom and covered the lid with 20-22 coals to bring the oven to 400 degrees quickly.
