CORNMEAL BISCUITS
Whenever I crave fresh bread, and I want something quick I make homemade biscuits. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, I love hot biscuits. I found this recipe in Betty Crocker's Old Fashioned Cookbook (1990), and I wasn't sure about using cornmeal. WOW! These are so tasty they melt in your mouth. The cornmeal adds just a little different flavor, and you can't stop eating them. I will definitely make these again, and I don't normally make the same recipe twice. Serve with butter, homemade jam, or honey.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
- Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper and sugar in a food processor and process to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Mix the egg and buttermilk together. Using a fork or your fingertips, lightly stir them into the dry ingredients so the mixture can be gathered together to form a ball of soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board.
- Pat the dough until it is uniformly one-half-inch thick or a shade thicker. Cut into one-and-one-half-inch rounds. You can re-form the scraps and cut those. Place the dough rounds on the baking sheet and bake until medium brown on the bottom and just beginning to brown on top, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve, or allow to cool, then warm before serving.

CORNMEAL SAGE BISQUICK BISCUITS
These are the perfect biscuits for biscuits and gravy (unlike most biscuits, these are toothsome and plain enough to stand up to lashings of salty, sausage-y gravy). I actually made them with the Heart Smart Bisquick. The recipe is slightly changed from bettycrocker.com.

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your biscuits a better flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rest. Letting the dough rest for a few minutes before baking will help it develop a better flavor and texture.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise and brown properly.
- Serve the biscuits warm. Cornmeal biscuits are best served warm, right out of the oven.
