Ingredients
- 1 cup fine cornmeal
- ½ cup buttermilk (see note)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1-2 jalapeños seeded and chopped (see note)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sour cream, buttermilk, honey, egg, sugar, and jalapenos.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to your food processor. Cover and pulse 3-4 times to combine. (see note) Scatter the butter pieces over the flour and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles, about 8-12 pulses.
- Pour the butter-flour mixture into the bowl with the cornmeal mixture. Stir until just combined - don't overmix! (It's better to undermix than overmix.) Chill the dough for 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Using a cookie scoop, drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 1/4 cup portions. Leave 2 inches between the biscuits. (Return the rest of the dough to the fridge for the next batch.)
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until biscuits are lightly golden. Repeat with the rest of the biscuit dough.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Do not use any buttermilk substitutes, or the biscuits will spread when baking.
- If you want the biscuits spicier, you can leave in the jalapeno seeds.
- If you don't have a food processor, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Then cut in the cold butter using a fork or a pastry cutter.
