Step-by-Step Instructions for Cornmeal Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Whisk together the yellow cornmeal, buttermilk, and honey until smooth.
  3. Pulse the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Carefully add your wet cornmeal mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and pulse briefly until a dough begins to form.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a thickness of about 1 inch, and cut out the biscuits.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes at 450°F (232°C), then reduce to 400°F (204°C) for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  8. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
