Cornmeal Biscuits
 
Makes 8
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1¼ cups whole buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup cold unsalted butter
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, buttermilk, and honey, stirring until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Grate cold butter into flour mixture, and stir to coat. Add cornmeal mixture to flour mixture, and stir until mixture just comes together.
  4. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until it comes together. Shape into a 10x5-inch rectangle (about ¾ inch thick). Trim edges, if desired. Cut into 8 (2½-inch) squares. Place biscuits on prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
