Description

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups flour, divided
• ¾ cup cornmeal
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. baking soda
• 1.5 tsp. salt
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. dried rosemary
• 6 Tbsp. COLD unsalted butter, cubed
• ½ cup cooked sweet corn kernels (optional; if you arent going to eat the biscuits right away skip the corn kernels because they can dry out and taste chewy after a day or two on the counter)
• 1 cup milk

Directions

• Combine 1.25 cups of the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, thyme, and rosemary in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the butter into the flour mixture - basically, just quickly rub the butter into the flour with your hands - until the mixture is coarse and resembles cornmeal.
• Stir milk and corn kernels (if youre using them) into mixture. Turn dough out onto a floured cutting board and knead the rest of the flour (1/4 cup) into the dough until it is no longer sticky. (You may need to use a bit more flour if the dough is especially sticky).
• Pat the dough out to about ½ inch thickness and cut into 2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter.
• Lightly grease a large cast-iron skillet and arrange cut biscuits in a single layer. Give them a little breathing room, because theyll rise quite a bit in the oven. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to bake in two batches or bake some of the biscuits on a separate baking sheet. My skillet is about 8 inches in diameter and doesnt quite fit all of the biscuits, so I bake in two batches.
• Bake at 450 degrees fahrenheit for 13-16 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned. Serve warm with butter and a bit of honey. They go great with this Corn & Black Bean Turkey Chili!
