Description
This Southern bread features Butter, softened -- at room. It delivers smooth, comforting richness. Wonderful fresh from the oven, pairs well with any meal. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
Temperature 1/2 c Sugar 1 c Yellow cornmeal 2 Eggs at room temperature 1 ts Salt 1 1/2 c All-purpose flour (approx)
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191&# 194;°C).
-
Stir the butter into a soft mass; slowly add sugar, blending together well.
-
Add cornmeal, eggs, and salt.
-
Beat until the mixture is smooth; add 1-1/4 c.
-
flour (the mixture will be soft and moist).
-
Roll the dough out to 1/4" thickness; if the dough is too sticky to roll, add 1/4 c.
-
flour and
-
blend into the top of the dough with your hands (I find it's also easier if you
-
roll out on a lightly floured board).
-
Cut out 4 dozen 1-1/2" rounds with a cookie cutter (I've also used squares, etc.
-
whatever cutters I had handy at the time).
-
Place close together on a lightly greased baking sheet, but don't let them touch.
-
Bake on center shelf for about 22 minutes or until biscuits are just starting to turn slightly brown around the edges.
-
Near the end of this baking period turn the baking sheet around for even cooking.
-
If the biscuits near the outer edges of the sheet are browning too fast then just
-
remove them if they're done or rearrange the biscuits on the sheet so the brown-er ones get moved to the center.
-
Remove biscuits from the oven and cool on a rack.
-
These are wonderful served warm; they freeze very well and can be warmed up when ready to serve.
-
If not freezing them, keep at room temperature in an airtight container.
-
Kept this way the biscuits will last up to 10-14 days.
-
These biscuits are terrific served with coffee or tea, or with a dish of fresh fruit.
-
They are slightly sweet with a wonderful, grainy texture due to the cornmeal in the recipe.
-
They're quite addictive.
