Very Corny Biscuits by Lucy Burdette

LUCY BURDETTE: I’m a big fan of biscuits and a big fan of corn bread too. This recipe splits the difference, and it's easy too! It's exactly the kind of baked good that Hayley Snow would bake up in the Key West mysteries when she isn't out sleuthing...

Ingredients

Ingredients

1 cup AP flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup corn flour

2.5 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt

1 tablespoon cheesy powder, optional

1-3 tsp sugar

5 tablespoons butter, cold

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup Corn kernels

Stir the dry ingredients together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the size of peas. Stir in the corn. Pour the milk over the top and stir that in.

Pat the dough into a circle on a floured surface and cut into wedges. Place on a parchment covered pan.

 

Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes until browning on top.

(Could also add herbs like dill, or celery salt instead of regular.)

Serve with soup or salad of your choice!
