Cornmeal Biscuits

Ingrients & Directions


3/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Plus 1 teaspoon yellow
-cornmeal
1 1/2 ts Double-acting baking powder
1/2 ts Sugar
1/4 ts Salt
2 1/2 tb Cold unsalted butter; cut
-into bits
6 tb Half-and-half

In a bowl stir together the flour, 1/4 cup of the cornmeal, the baking
powder, the sugar, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture
until it resembles coarse meal. Add the half-and-half and stir the
mixture until it just forms a sticky dough. Gather the dough into a
ball, knead it gently 6 times on a lightly floured surface, and roll
or pat it out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 6 rounds with a 2 1/2-inch
cutter dipped in flour and transfer them to an ungreased baking
sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon cornmeal over the tops of
the rounds and bake the biscuits in the middle of a preheated
450°F. oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are golden.

Makes 6 biscuits.
