How to Make Buttermilk Cornmeal Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
  8. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or honey.
