One of my followers requested more buttermilk recipes. I wasn't going to print any more even though I had a few others, so this one's for you, Mary! The recipe is so old the paper is yellow and I don't remember where it came from originally, but I did write "good" on it, so I hope you like it. By the way, if you don't have any buttermilk to make all these recipes, you can put 1 T. lemon juice or vinegar in a cup, fill it with milk and wait for a couple minutes before using.
1½ c, flour
½ c. cornmeal
1 T. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. shortening (I use butter)
2/3 c. buttermilk
Butter
Honey
1. In medium bowl, combine flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
2. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk until just blended.
3. Place dough on lightly floured surface & knead about 20 times. Roll into a 5 x 8” rectangle about ½“ thick and cut into sixteen 2” squares. (Or cut with a 2 ½ “ cookie cutter.)
4. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450° oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
5. Serve with warm butter & honey. If you soften the butter and mix in some honey, you have “honey-butter”.
