   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more for rolling out dough
      1/4           cup  yellow cornmeal -- plus
   2        tablespoons  yellow cornmeal
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
      3/4      teaspoon  baking soda
      3/4      teaspoon  salt
   1 1/2    tablespoons  sugar
   6        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- chilled and cut into 1/2" 
pieces, plus more for topping, if desired
      3/4           cup  nonfat buttermilk -- plus
   1         tablespoon  nonfat buttermilk
                         Honey -- (optional)

Heat oven to 400F.  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, 
baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.  Using your fingers or a 
pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture.  Using a wooden spoon, 
stir in 3/4 cup buttermilk until the mixture holds together.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  On a lightly floured work 
surface, roll out dough to a 1" thickness. Using a 2" round cookie 
cutter or a drinking glass, cut out eight rounds, and place on 
prepared parchment; discard scraps of dough. Brush tops of biscuits 
with remaining tablespoon buttermilk. Bake until golden and puffy, 
about 12 minutes. If desired, spread with butter or honey. Serve warm.

Description:
   "Cornmeal gives biscuits a slight crunchiness and a golden hue."
