Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • cup cornmeal or corn flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup cold butter or ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk kefir

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450℉.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. (If batter is too thin, add in 1 to 2 tablespoons flour.)
  • Drop by 1/4 cupfuls, 1 inch apart, onto greased baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

I love using part coconut oil in this recipe for the extra sweetness and lovely texture.
I’ve made this dough a little drier and done cut biscuits instead of drop biscuits, and love them that way, too.
