Cornmeal adds a crunchy bite to these biscuits.
Use fresh berries -- frozen berries may make the batter too wet
and discolor the biscuits.
Berry-Lemon Cornmeal
Biscuits
- Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup light dairy sour cream
1 cup fresh raspberries and/or blueberries (do not use
frozen berries)
- Coat a large baking sheet with cooking
spray; set aside. In a large bowl stir together flour, cornmeal,
sugar, lemon peel, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using
a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
- In a small bowl combine milk and sour
cream. Add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened.
Gently fold in raspberries.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons 1-inch
apart on the prepared baking sheet, forming 16 biscuits.
- Bake in a 400°F (205°C) oven for
14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire
rack. Serve warm.
Makes 16 biscuits.
