Yield Makes about 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup (packed) chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups (packed) coarsely grated yellow extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
3/4 cup (about) buttermilk
1 tablespoon finely minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo*
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon whipping cream (for glaze)

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and sauté 2 minutes to soften slightly. Remove from heat.
  • Blend flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in processor. Add 1/2 cup chilled butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese; cut in using on/off turns. Transfer flour mixture to large bowl. Whisk 1 egg in glass measuring cup. Add enough buttermilk to egg to measure 1 cup; stir in green-onion mixture and chipotles. Make well in center of dry ingredients. Pour buttermilk mixture into well; mix just until evenly moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto generously floured surface. Knead gently just until dough holds together, about 10 turns. Pat out on generously floured surface to 3/4-inch-thick round. Using 3-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps; pat out to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out additional biscuits. Brush biscuits with egg glaze.
  • Bake biscuits until golden, tester inserted into center comes out clean, and biscuits feel firm, about 18 minutes. Cool on rack 5 minutes. Serve warm.
  • *Available at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Latin markets.

These biscuits were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chipotle next time.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but I thought these biscuits were pretty good. The cheddar and chipotle flavors were a nice touch.

I would make these biscuits again, but I would make a few changes. I would add more chipotle and I would make sure to let them rise properly.

Overall, I thought these biscuits were okay. They weren't the best I've ever had, but they were still good.

These biscuits were easy to make, but they didn't rise very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These biscuits were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

These cornmeal biscuits were a hit! The cheddar and chipotle added the perfect amount of flavor. They were so easy to make and came out perfectly golden brown.
