Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) corn kernels, drained, or 1 ¾ cups fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (183 g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set aside an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together honey, corn kernels, milk, sugar, and eggs until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.
  • Pour the melted butter into the baking dish. Add the batter directly on top of the butter. Using a spatula, evenly spread the batter out to the edges of the pan.
  • Score the unbaked batter into 9 equal squares (3×3 pattern).
  • Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until golden brown. If the edges start to brown too quickly, gently cover them with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
  • Let the biscuits rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the butter to be absorbed into the biscuits.
  • Serve warm with extra honey or butter.
