-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup warm water -- (100F to 110F)
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast -- (1/4-oz.)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold salted butter -- cubed
1/2 cup cold shortening -- cubed
2 cups whole buttermilk
6 tablespoons salted butter -- melted and divided
Like a cross between a buttermilk biscuit and a Parker House roll,
these addictively light and buttery biscuits have added color, flavor
and texture from yellow cornmeal. Your guest will be intrigued by the
little touch of Southern cornbread flavor, even if it is a biscuit!

Stir together warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a
small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
Stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and
remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; cut cold butter and
cold shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 forks
until crumbly. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk to flour mixture,
stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Cover bowl with
plastic wrap; chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days.
Preheat oven to 400F. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface,
and knead 3 or 4 times. Gently roll into a 1/2" thick circle, and
fold in half; repeat. Gently roll to 1/2" thickness; cut with a 2"
round cutter. Reroll remaining scraps, and cut with cutter. Place
rounds with sides touching in a 12" cast-iron skillet or on a
parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (If using a 12" skillet, place
remaining biscuits in a 10" skillet or on a baking sheet.) Brush
biscuits with 3 tablespoons of the melted butter.
Bake in preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with
remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter, and serve.
Make it ahead: The dough can be made 1 week in advance; store in the
refrigerator.
