Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, corn kernels, diced jalapeño, and benne seeds.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
