For the Dough

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until well blended.
  3. Pour in milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. If using, crack the egg into the dough and blend it in fully. Mix until everything combines into a cohesive dough.
  5. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut it into desired shapes.
  7. Place each biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
