Cornmeal-Chive Biscuits
- 2 cups self-rising soft-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup self-rising yellow cornmeal mix
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 1/4 cups whole buttermilk
- Parchment paper
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0. Combine flour and cornmeal in a large bowl. Cut butter into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Sprinkle butter over flour mixture, and toss. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Cover and chill 10 minutes. Stir in chives. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface, and knead 3 or 4 times, gradually adding additional self-rising flour as needed. With floured hands, pat dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches); dust top with flour. Fold dough over itself in 3 sections, starting with short end (as if folding a letter-size piece of paper). Repeat 2 more times, beginning with patting dough into a rectangle.
- Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch round cutter, and place, side by side, on a parchment paper-lined or lightly greased jelly-roll pan. (Dough rounds should touch.)
- Bake at 425u0b0 for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; brush with 2 Tbsp. melted butter.
- Note: We tested with White Lily soft-wheat self-rising flour.
