I scooped out what I thought was self-rising flour to make buttermilk biscuits. I cut in the butter and mixed in the buttermilk. It mixed beautifully. As I floured the surface and went to gently knead and roll them out, I realized my mistake. I had used White Lily self-rising corn meal mix! (I ordered some and paid a premium price for it since you can’t get it here! Haven’t even made cornbread with it yet!) All I could do was finish making them and get them in the oven at 450 degrees! Corn biscuits?! Hopefully, they will be good…

Sunny, this White Lily cornmeal is so fine! They tasted like little corn pones and were good – just didn’t satisfy my yen for an old fashioned biscuit! š

I have never heard of that corn flour. But biscuits sound soo good right now, warm with the butter melting in the middle mmmmm

LOL! They’re really little “pones” of cornbread! This White Lily cornmeal is as fine as flour, so I really didn’t realize what I had done until I started kneading it. They’re actually pretty good but definitely not biscuits!
