Cornmeal Biscuits

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cornmeal Biscuits.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (232°C) and lightly greasing a cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray to ensure your biscuits slide off effortlessly.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, blend together self-rising flour, cornmeal mix, and sugar until they are harmoniously combined.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a pastry blender or fork and cut in the shortening until the mixture takes on the texture of coarse crumbs, reminiscent of sandy beaches.

4. Step 4

   Gradually pour in the buttermilk, using a fork to stir until a soft, cohesive dough forms that pulls away from the bowl's sides.

5. Step 5

   Transfer this delightful dough to a lightly floured surface, kneading gently with floured hands just until it becomes smooth and inviting.

6. Step 6

   Roll the dough out to a perfect 1/2 inch thickness, then grab a floured 2-inch round cutter to create your biscuit shapes, placing them on the prepared cookie sheet.

7. Step 7

   Slide the tray into your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits emerge golden brown and irresistible.

8. Step 8

   Serve them warm, and watch as they disappear in a flash, bringing smiles to all who indulge.
