BUTTERMILK-SAGE BISCUITS
A nice little biscuit to serve with soups or stews
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. minced fresh sage, OR, 1 Tbsp crumbled, dried
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled
2/3 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Grease or lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray.
In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sage, pepper, and salt. Toss with a fork or whisk to combine. Cut the butter into the bowl and mix with a pastry blender or your fingers.
Add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough holds together. DO NOT overmix.
With a 1 1/2-in. diameter round cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them, in a tight formation, on the baking sheet. If you have leftover dough scraps,
press them together and cut out more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
Makes about 30 biscuits.
