Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon honey (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and 3 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
Pour the buttermilk-honey mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle.
Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the dough as needed to make 8 biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Optional: Brush the warm biscuits with an additional tablespoon of honey for a touch of extra sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy! These biscuits are delicious on their own or with butter and jam.
