Skillet Herbed Cornbread Biscuits
- 1-1/2 cup Flour, Divided
- 3/4 cups Cornmeal
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
- 6 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 1/2 cups Cooked Sweet Corn Kernels (optional; If You Aren't Going To Eat The Biscuits Right Away, Skip The Corn Kernels Because They Can Dry Out And Taste Chewy After A Day Or Two On The Counter)
- 1 cup Milk
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour. Combine the remaining flour with the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, thyme, and rosemary in a large mixing bowl.
- 2. Cut the butter into the flour mixture-basically, just quickly rub the butter into the flour with your hands until the mixture is coarse and resembles cornmeal.
- 3. Stir milk and corn kernels (if you're using them) into the mixture. Turn dough out onto a floured cutting board and knead the reserved flour (1/4 cup) into the dough until it is no longer sticky. (You may need to use a bit more flour if the dough is especially sticky).
- 4. Pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into 2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- 5, Lightly grease a large cast-iron skillet and arrange cut biscuits in a single layer. Give them a little breathing room, because they'll rise quite a bit in the oven. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to bake in two batches or bake some of the biscuits on a separate baking sheet. My skillet is about 8 inches in diameter and doesn't quite fit all of the biscuits, so I bake in two batches.
- 6. Bake at 450 F for 13-16 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned. Serve warm with butter and a bit of honey. They're also great with chili or pulled pork. I love to use them for pulled pork sliders!
