Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or solid vegetable shortening
2 large eggs, beaten
2/3 cup whole milk

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter or shortening until the mixture is crumbly. (This can be done in a food processor.) Then return the dry ingredients to the bowl. 2. Remove a scant 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs to a small bowl and set aside. Mix the remaining egg with the milk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk mixture all at once. Stir with a fork until combined. With your hands, work the dough together and turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 turns until the dough just holds together. 3. Roll out the dough with a lightly floured rolling pin to about 3/4-inch thick. Cut into rounds with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Gather the scraps, roll and cut. Put the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm from the oven. If made ahead, biscuits can be split, buttered, and toasted under a broiler.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.

These biscuits were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe carefully, but they just didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out really dense and heavy. They were more like hockey pucks than biscuits.

I was disappointed with these biscuits. They were bland and flavorless.

These biscuits were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

I've never had Mexican biscuits before, but these were delicious! I'll definitely be making them again.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a block of cheddar cheese in my fridge, so I can make these biscuits anytime.

I love the flavor of the cornmeal in these biscuits. It gives them a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.

These biscuits are the perfect comfort food. They're warm, fluffy, and cheesy. What more could you ask for?

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these biscuits were to make. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to follow the recipe without any problems.
