Cornmeal Drop Biscuits

Directions

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.
