CORNMEAL BISCUITS



Cornmeal Biscuits image

Cornmeal gives biscuits a slight crunchiness and a golden hue.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus more for topping, if desired
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon nonfat buttermilk
Honey (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a fine-ground cornmeal for a smooth texture. If you only have coarse-ground cornmeal, you can grind it in a blender or food processor until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking will allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid and produce a more tender biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to 425°F before baking.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Cornmeal chive drop biscuits are best served warm from the oven. You can reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven if necessary.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal chive drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with any meal. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and holiday gatherings. With their slightly sweet and savory flavor, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
