- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper in a food processor.
- Pulse a few times to mix.
- Add cheese and butter and pulse again until the mixture looks pebbly with small oat-size lumps.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Add sour cream, chives and honey (if using) and stir with a rubber spatula until almost combined.
- Add 3 tablespoons milk, stirring, just until the dough comes together; add more milk as needed until the dough holds together in a shaggy mass.
