Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently a few times until it comes together, being mindful to keep the texture light and airy.
- Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
- Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Serve warm, ideally with a pat of butter or a dollop of honey for a sweet contrast to the savory flavors.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the dough.
- These biscuits can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- For a spicier kick, mix in some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
