   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      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!

Active: 20 Mins
Total: 2:40

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.
