Cornmeal Drop Biscuits

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375F.

2. 2

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

4. 4

   Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger clumps remaining.

5. 5

   Pour in the milk; using a rubber spatula, fold milk into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together.

6. 6

   The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.

7. 7

   With two large spoons, drop mounds of dough (about 1/3 cup each) about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

9. 9

   Slide the parchment and biscuits onto a wire rack to cool.
