Cornmeal Biscuits
from lizj's recipe box

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 ½ tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
½ cup low-fat buttermilk

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 450°.

2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stir just until moist.

3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into an 8 x 4-inch rectangle. Cut dough by making 1 lengthwise cut and 3 crosswise cuts to form 8 biscuits. Place biscuits, 1 inch apart, on an ungreased baking sheet.

4. Bake at 450° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve biscuits warm or at room temperature.
Yield; 8 servings (serving size: 1biscuit).
