Fluffy Pillow Cornmeal Biscuits

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 16 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or, for more fluff, sub 1/2 cup all purpose flour)
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons chilled butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain low-fat or nonfat yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix first 7 ingredients (flour through baking soda) in a large bowl.
  3. Cut butter into small bits and mix in with a pastry cutter, 2 knives or use your fingers to blend until butter is blended in and mixture is a coarse meal. I like to use my fingers because I love the feel of the crumbly flour and butter on my hands.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk egg and yogurt until smooth.
  5. Add the egg/yogurt mixture to flour mixture. Stir well to mix into a moist, thick batter.
  6. Turn the batter onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle with flour. Roll to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and cut with a pastry or pizza cutter into square / rectangular shapes.
  7. Bake at 400 for 15 – 20 minutes or until nicely browned on top.
