These are fun, cute, and easy too! The story around these is pretty simple but I’ll break it up into two parts. Part one. Come summertime, like clockwork, I think about southern recipes. What would my grandma be serving at our Sunday night dinners or weekly cookouts? Cornbread was always a favorite with our family. Both my grandma and my mom enjoy baking cornbread, and of course, they love eating it even more. I’ve carried on the tradition, but I do love to switch things up a little. That’s when I thought about making cornbread biscuits! Both my mom and I loved the idea, so I started testing these weeks ago. They were good, but they gave me some trouble. And then I came up with these! Say hello to the biscuit muffin. These are simple drop-style biscuits baked in mini muffins. They could not be easier, cuter, or more convenient to serve and eat. I know you’ll love this recipe!
The details
Step 1: brown the butter First, brown some of the butter – 4 tablespoons on the stove. This will add wonderful flavor to our biscuit muffins. Pour the browned butter over the cold buttermilk, then mix into the batter. Step 2: make the batter Mix whole wheat flour and cornmeal with baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Then add 1 stick of cold, shredded butter. If you’ve never shredded butter before, it’s just like shredding cheese! So simple, and a great trick when working to create a flaky biscuit. Once the butter is mixed in, mix in the jalapeños and cheddar cheese. Now add the wet ingredient: cold buttermilk, then the reserved browned butter, eggs, and some honey. Mix, mix, mix to just gently combine. Step 3: bake Scoop the batter into a buttered mini muffin pan or you can use a regular muffin/cupcake pan too. Bake until they turn a pretty golden color. Step 4: make the honey butter The honey butter is just softened butter mixed with honey and sea salt. Brush/spread the butter over the warm biscuits. I love to serve these up warm, with sea salt on top. A sprinkle of sea salt makes every bite of these soft, spicy, cheesy biscuits just that much better. Great as a summer side, appetizer, and even come fall as a game-day snack OR as a dinner biscuit. You really can’t go wrong! Looking for other savory bread recipes? Try these.
