Sour Cream Cornmeal Biscuits

These biscuits have an extra taste kick with the cornmeal that makes them special–and they’re quick!

How to make Sour Cream Cornmeal Biscuits:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 to 1 cup milk

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in butter and mix. Add sour cream and as much milk as needed to make a stiff biscuit dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about an inch thickness. Cut out biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450-degrees for 10-12 minutes, till golden. Makes about 10 biscuits.

Super good with Country Chili.

    Did you know you can use plain yogurt in place of sour cream? I also make homemade yogurt – to not have all the preservatives, sugar, fillers, ect. A world of difference in the taste from storebought..smooth and silky.

    love these! Mine won’t rise up even a little. I bought a new can of baking powder and they still won’t rise, but I dont care. They are so good I make ‘em real often. Good slathered with butter and apricot preserves.

    Suzanne, You know how you’ve taken the time to “show and tell” the many wondrous variations on your basic biscuits recipe…. Well, we might wonder how many thousands of people LOVE the wondrous biscuits served at Red Lobster restaurants….but you have to GO there and PAY for whatever, to get those biscuits. I hope more and more people learn from YOUR biscuit variations that they can make their own top-grade Red Lobster style biscuits, fresh and hot at home, any time they want them, without GOING anywhere or BUYING a restaurant meal to get the biscuits.
    Those Red Lobster biscuits just are plopped around in oil to be sure they’re well coated before baking. The ingredients added to your basic recipe would be primarily just some good tasty crumbly sharp cheddar bits….or try some delicious crumbled Greek feta…etc. Your mix gives us EASY “Red Lobster” biscuits!! YAY!

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
