Cornmeal Biscuits Slathered in Butter: A Southern-Inspired Treat
Why Cornmeal Biscuits?
Cornmeal adds a unique texture and flavor to traditional biscuits, making them slightly crunchy on the outside while remaining tender and fluffy on the inside. Paired with melted butter, these biscuits are irresistible and versatile—perfect for pairing with savory dishes or enjoying on their own.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
Extra butter for slathering
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.
Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve: Slather the warm biscuits with butter and enjoy!
Tips for Success
Keep Ingredients Cold: Cold butter and buttermilk are key to achieving flaky biscuits.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the biscuits tough.
Add Variations: For extra flavor, try adding shredded cheese, herbs, or a drizzle of honey.
