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!

  1. I’ll have to give this a try, Lucy. Our grandson loves cornbread, so I’m betting he’ll be a big fan of this biscuit–cornbread hybrid.

  5. Sounds like a great recipe I imagine it would be a lighter cornbread with the addition of the flour. Love that we can experiment and come up with a delightful alternative. Deborah
