CORNMEAL BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips, until it is completely incorporated. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it's in even, pea-sizes pieces. Gently stir in the buttermilk to make a loose dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and put biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, cut 2 more biscuits, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/3 cups flour, 1/3 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne. Work in 6 tablespoons diced cold butter with your fingers until crumbly. Stir in 2/3 cup half-and-half and 1 tablespoon honey; let sit 5 minutes. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick square on a floured surface and cut into 8 pieces; shape into rounds and brush with half-and-half. Bake at 425 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

EASY CORNMEAL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 425 F.
• Put a metal mixing bowl in the freezer. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
• Take the bowl out of the freezer. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornmeal into the mixing bowl. Sifting the dry ingredients helps ensure there are no lumps clogging up the dough.
• With a pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add milk to the first mixture and stir with a metal spoon just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Knead just a few times on a floured surface, or until you have a cohesive dough. Don't overwork the dough.
• Pat or gently roll out about to a thickness of about 3/4 of an inch. Cut the biscuits out with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
• Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
