How to Make 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 flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the milk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it to about 1-inch thickness.
  6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps if desired.
  7. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings – butter, jam, or honey are all excellent choices!
