Make these using a large biscuit cutter and they make the ideal base for your favourite breakfast sandwich. I made this one last weekend with some of our Maple Chipotle Pulled Pork and an over easy egg on top.

Sure, it was a fork and knife kinda sandwich but boy was it ever delicious!

Ingredients

For the Corn Flour Biscuits

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups unbleached yellow corn flour
  • 9 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp vegetable shortening (very cold & cut in small cubes. I store mine in the freezer)
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp salted butter (very cold & cut in small cubes. I store mine in the freezer)
  • 2 cups buttermilk

For the Maple Butter

  • 1 cup butter (not margarine or other horrible butter substitutes)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

Instructions

To prepare the Corn Flour Biscuits

Makes about 18 two inch biscuits

Preheat oven to 4oo degrees F.

In a food processor, blend together the flour, yellow corn flour baking powder and baking soda.

Pulse in the cubes of shortening and butter.

Do not over incorporate the shortening and butter into the flour. Similar to making a flaky pastry, small pieces of butter should be visible in the flour.

Transfer this mixture from the food processor into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.

Pour in the buttermilk. (Or use soured milk by adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to plain milk.)

Working very quickly with a wooden spoon, fold the dry mixture through the buttermilk, only until the flour disappears, then stop immediately.

Drop the sticky dough onto a well floured counter top or bread board.

Sprinkle the top of the dough with additional flour as well as flouring your hands to handle the dough. I don't even use a rolling pin for these biscuits, the dough is soft enough to pat it out gently with floured hands to a thickness of about 1 & 1/2 inches.

Using a sharp 2 inch biscuit cutter cut the biscuits out an place them, almost touching, on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I recommend aluminum baking sheets because they tolerate the higher oven temperature without burning the bottom of the biscuits. You can also try lining the an with a couple of layers of aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are evenly golden brown. Delicious served warm with Maple Butter.

To Prepare the Maple Butter

Maple butter is simply maple syrup beaten into plain butter in a 3 to 1 ratio of butter to maple syrup. You can really make any amount you like.

Beat together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

Notes

The corn flour in this recipe is not cornmeal and not corn starch. Yellow corn flour is what you are looking for. It's ground fine like regular flour, so nowhere near as course as cornmeal.

HI, I am an OLD southern homecook thru and thru. I followed the recipe to a fault the first time I made these. They turned out perfect! Use the Corn FLOUR as specified, NOT CORN MEAL. I buy mine at my local grocer where the corm meal and flour is sold or you can find it online. I use Bob' Red Mill Corn Flour (brand name). DO NOT skimp or try to make these "healthier" by substituting margerine for the SALTED Butter or Shortening. you will not get the desired product. My husband and I now live aloneand have small appetites so I have learned to cut the recipe in 1/2 and some times in 1/4. Once you get this recipe down it is quick and easy. .

Yellow corn flour, not corn meal or corn starch. I buy it at my local Bulk store.

I think they would be too crumbly but it might be worth trying.

Can I substitute the wheat flour with more corn flour? or will this affect the texture or moisture?
