Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to combine. Add the butter, and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut it in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add milk, and stir until just combined.
  • Spoon 10 mounds, about 1/2 cup each, onto baking sheet 1 inch apart; bake until biscuits start to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cornmeal. Old cornmeal can have a stale taste and won't produce light and fluffy biscuits.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the biscuits. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  • Drop the batter onto the baking sheet using a large spoon or a cookie scoop. This will help to ensure that the biscuits are all the same size.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top. Overbaking will result in dry biscuits.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam or gravy.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any meal. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create light and fluffy biscuits that your whole family will love.
