Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus as needed
2/3 cup polenta-style yellow cornmeal
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 heaping teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup buttermilk

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.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 1/4 cup (1/2 stick), room temperature

Yield Makes 14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the biscuits:
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. (1 3/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
For the Honey Butter:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, plus more for serving
Special equipment:
A 2 1/2-inch-diameter round cutter or glass

Steps:

  • For the biscuits:
  • Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, baking soda, and 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Gather dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, press into an 8" square. Fold sides over like a letter. Turn 90º and fold sides again, forming a small square. Press or roll to an 8" square and repeat once, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Pat dough into a scant 3/4" round. Cut out rounds with 2 1/2" cutter; transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Gather scraps and repeat patting and cutting (you should have 14). Freeze until chilled, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake biscuits, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 22-24 minutes.
  • For the Honey Butter:
  • Stir butter, honey, and 2 tsp. sea salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Top biscuits with Honey Butter and sprinkle with sea salt; serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Using fresh buttermilk will give your biscuits a tangy, slightly sour flavor. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Make sure your butter is very cold before grating it. This will help to create flaky biscuits.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet using a spoon or a cookie scoop. This will help to ensure that the biscuits are all the same size and shape.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with honey butter. You can also add other toppings, such as jam, jelly, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk cornmeal drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quick weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of fluffy, flavorful biscuits that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and comforting dish, give these buttermilk cornmeal drop biscuits a try.
