Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (you can also use white cornmeal)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 12 Tbsp cold unsalted butter cut in pieces

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 450F
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, buttermilk and honey together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl of a processor and pulse to combine.
  • Add in the cold butter pieces and pulse about 10 times until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Add the buttermilk/cornmeal mixture to the machine.
  • Pulse/process the mixture just enough to bring the dough together into large clumps. Add a little more buttermilk if the dough seems too dry.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface and bring together into one lump. Add in a little extra flour if it’s too wet. Note: if the dough is a bit dry or crumbly at this point I will wrap it in plastic and let it sit on the counter for about 15 minutes to allow it to hydrate.
  • Pat or roll dough into a 9" round, about an inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Reforming the dough as necessary.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, until they just start to rise, and then turn down the heat to 400F, and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until golden.
  • Cool on a rack.
