How to Make Buttermilk Cornmeal Biscuits

  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.
