Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the chopped sage leaves, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter; small lumps are ideal for flaky biscuits.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to create layers, then gently pat it out again to 1 inch thickness.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather and re-pat the scraps of dough to cut more biscuits, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy!
