Cornmeal Buttermilk Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/3 cups flour, 1/3 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne. Work in 6 tablespoons diced cold butter with your fingers until crumbly. Stir in 2/3 cup half-and-half and 1 tablespoon honey; let sit 5 minutes. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick square on a floured surface and cut into 8 pieces; shape into rounds and brush with half-and-half. Bake at 425 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper and sugar in a food processor and process to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Mix the egg and buttermilk together. Using a fork or your fingertips, lightly stir them into the dry ingredients so the mixture can be gathered together to form a ball of soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board.
• Pat the dough until it is uniformly one-half-inch thick or a shade thicker. Cut into one-and-one-half-inch rounds. You can re-form the scraps and cut those. Place the dough rounds on the baking sheet and bake until medium brown on the bottom and just beginning to brown on top, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve, or allow to cool, then warm before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and egg; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times., Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with butter. Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir in 3/4 cup buttermilk until the mixture holds together.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch-round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut out eight rounds, and place on prepared parchment; discard scraps of dough. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining tablespoon buttermilk. Bake until golden and puffy, about 12 minutes. If desired, spread with butter or honey. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Combine flour, corn meal mix and sugar in medium bowl; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add buttermilk; stir with fork until a soft dough forms and mixture pulls away from sides of bowl.
• Knead dough on lightly floured surface with floured hands just until smooth. Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2-inch round cutter; place biscuits on prepared cookie sheet
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger clumps remaining.
• Pour in milk; using a rubber spatula, fold milk into dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.
• With two large spoons, drop mounds of dough (about 1/3 cup each) about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until biscuits are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Slide parchment and biscuits onto a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• In a small baking pan, place the blueberries in one layer. Freeze them for 30 to 45 minutes or until firm.
• Set the oven at 400 degrees. Have on hand a large, heavy baking sheet.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and sugar. Whisk in the cornmeal. Scatter the chunks of butter over the mixture. Using a pastry blender or two round-bladed table knives, cut the fat into the flour until it is reduced to the size of large peas.
• Pour the buttermilk over the flour mixture, scatter over the blueberries, and use a spatula to stir lightly but thoroughly to form a dough. Bring the dough clumps together with your fingertips. The dough will be moderately moist but workable.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. With a rolling pin, roll it into a 3/4-inch-thick slab, keeping a square shape.
• With a straight-edged chef's knife, cut the dough into 12 rectangles that are about 1 3/4-inches long. Place them 1-inch apart on the baking sheet (if you prefer firmer sides), or 1/2-inch apart (for softer sides).
• Bake the biscuits for 15 to 18 minutes, or until set and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
