Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the chopped sage leaves, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter; small lumps are ideal for flaky biscuits.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to create layers, then gently pat it out again to 1 inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather and re-pat the scraps of dough to cut more biscuits, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 8

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
