Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits

Who doesn't love a nice, easy drop biscuit?  They are so fast and so tasty!  I have a regular drop biscuit recipe I use, but I discovered this one recently and have loved a little change of pace.  These tasty biscuits have just a hint of sweetness and the subtle flavor of the cornmeal is surprisingly delicious.  But the best part is the slightly crisp outside and the warm, soft inside.  They just cook up so perfectly!  Now I have myself seriously considering adding these to tonight's menu...

Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits

Time to Prepare: 20 minutes
Number of Servings: 12

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup wheat flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flours, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt.  Cut in butter until mixture in crumbly.  Stir in  milk and 1/2 cup cheese just until moistened.

Drop by about 1/3 cupfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet (I just try to divide the dough evenly into 12 biscuits).  Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. 

Bake for about 12 minutes, until light golden brown.  Serve warm.
