Creamy Corn Biscuits
From Carrie Morey's Hot Little Suppers cookbook
Ingredients
- • 1 bag of Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
- • 6 oz butter, divided
- • ¼ to ½ cup buttermilk
- • 1 can of sweet corn cream style (8.25 oz)
There’s something about creamy corn that instantly feels like home. It’s one of those flavors that shows up at every family gathering, quietly comforting and always the first thing I go back for. It also reminds me of one of my all-time favorite recipes in my cookbook, the Creamy Corn Waffles, which carry that same cozy Southern sweetness in every bite. Thinking about those waffles recently had me wondering what would happen if we took all that nostalgia and folded it into a warm, fluffy biscuit. And once the idea landed, I couldn’t let it go.
These Creamy Corn Biscuits are buttery, tender, and full of that Southern sweetness that belongs on every holiday table. They’re the perfect biscuit for Thanksgiving, whether you serve them warm with butter or load them up with leftover turkey and gravy.
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the Buttermilk Biscuit Mix. Set aside ½ cup of flour in a small separate bowl for dusting.
-
Add 4 oz of butter in a snapping motion with your fingers. Once your mix is the consistency of grated Parmesan cheese, add in your cream corn and incorporate in the same fashion as the butter. Then, make a well in your flour mixture and add in ¼ cup buttermilk. Gently mix with your hands, combining until the dough is wet and sticky. Be careful not to overwork the dough. If more liquid is needed to absorb the flour, add additional buttermilk a small amount at a time.
-
Liberally dust the dough, rolling surface, rolling pin, and cutter with the remaining mix. Flip the dough onto a dusted surface. Roll the dough using a rolling pin until it is 2 inches thick.
-
As you cut the biscuits, place them on a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. The biscuits should touch. Bring the remaining dough back together into a mound. Roll, cut, and place the biscuits in the same manner.
-
Melt the rest of the butter and brush the top of each biscuit.
-
Bake for 16-18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
-
Once baked, optionally top the biscuits with extra butter. We recommend serving with our Savory Thyme Butter. Enjoy!
