Cornmeal Buttermilk Blueberry Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips, until it is completely incorporated. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it's in even, pea-sizes pieces. Gently stir in the buttermilk to make a loose dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and put biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, cut 2 more biscuits, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack before serving.

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 the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Mix in blueberries and 1/2 of the lemon zest. Add buttermilk and mix to create a dough.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface. Flatten with a floured rolling pin to a 1/2-inch thickness. Fold the left third of dough over the middle, then fold the right third over the left. Repeat folding procedure 3 more times.
• Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness and cut 12 biscuits. Transfer to a nonstick cookie sheet and brush with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey and sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Serve when cool.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving toward the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat. (Lumps are fine.) Coat your blueberries in a teaspoon of flour so that they don't sink, then stir them into the batter. The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to overcrowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

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:

• 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.
