Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits
Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits combine cornmeal and all-purpose flour with baking powder and soda, enriched with butter, honey, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. The dough is mixed until sticky, shaped, and baked to create biscuits with a tender crumb and a slight cornmeal texture complemented by sharp cheese flavor. These golden biscuits serve well with meals or as a snack.

Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal white or yellow
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 4 ounces butter cut into pieces, cold
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk, 2%
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese lightly packed, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and lightly butter a baking sheet.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, honey, and butter to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until everything is combined.
- Slowly add in the milk and continue to pulse until the dough comes together, it may be a bit wet and sticky.
- Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and mix in the cheddar by hand, knead a few times until it's no longer very sticky. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick, and cut out 8-10 biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on your baking sheet, and bake at 450°F for 5 minutes. Then, turn the oven down to 400°F and bake for about 8-10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on a baking rack.
