These biscuits are amazing spread with soft butter and tomato jam. I imagine they'd also make an excellent base for a summery riff on eggs benedict.
Ingredients
1½ c. All-Purpose Flour
½ c. Cornmeal
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tbsp. Sugar
¾ tsp. Kosher Salt
5 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, cut in cubes and very cold
1 ear Corn, kernels cut off (1 scant c.)
1 Tbsp. chopped Chives
1 c. Buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Scatter the cold butter pieces over the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, until the mixture is crumbly and the butter resembles small pebbles. Alternatively, you can use a food processor and incorporate the butter using several short pulses.
Add the corn, chives, and buttermilk and quickly stir together with a rubber spatula until the mixture just begins to come together. Dump the floury pieces of dough onto a countertop or board and quickly knead to form a cohesive mass. Divide the dough in 8 pieces and quickly roll into a ball. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet and bake until lightly golden 15-16 minutes. Serve warm.
