Cornmeal Biscuits image

Whenever I crave fresh bread, and I want something quick I make homemade biscuits. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, I love hot biscuits. I found this recipe in Betty Crocker's Old Fashioned Cookbook (1990), and I wasn't sure about using cornmeal. WOW! These are so tasty they melt in your mouth. The cornmeal adds just a little different flavor, and you can't stop eating them. I will definitely make these again, and I don't normally make the same recipe twice. Serve with butter, homemade jam, or honey.
