Cornmeal Biscuits Recipe - easy to make and even easier to enjoy, these biscuits will take your breakfast, brunch, or dinner to a whole new level of yum! Flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and buttermilk. Slather them with honey butter and pair them with your favorite soups or stews, serve alongside your holiday turkey and ham, or simply savor them on their own for a delicious Southern-inspired treat.
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut into 12 biscuits.
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of the biscuits with melted butter.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
Notes:
Dip the biscuit cutter into flour between cuts.
You can make the biscuits as large or as small as you prefer. You will just need to adjust the baking time.
Can Cornmeal Biscuits be frozen? Yes. You can freeze them unbaked for fresh biscuits later. You will just need to add a few minutes to the baking time. Just watch them when they are in the oven and take them out when they are browned.
You can also freeze the baked biscuits and reheat them in the microwave later.
