Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (If you are using a food processor: add to the basin of a food processor and pulse to combine).

Use a box grater to grate butter into shreds. Add the grated butter into the flour mixture and use a wooden spoon to stir until combined (the flour should coat all the butter and the butter should be well dispersed, don’t try to make it creamy or make the batter uniform at this point). (If using a food processor: cut butter into tablespoons and pulse until only pea-sized pieces remain).

Add buttermilk and stir until combined and dough clings together, be careful not to overwork the dough. (If using a food processor: pour buttermilk over dough and pulse together until dough is crumbly but clings together, if you pinch the dough it should hold together).

Laminate the dough (makes for tall flaky biscuits!): Transfer dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and use your hands to form the dough into a disk. Gently flatten, fold in half over itself, and use your hands to gently flatten again. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold in half again, repeating 5-6 times.

Flatten & cut out biscuits: Use your hands to gently flatten dough to be an even 1” (2.5cm) thick and use a 2 ½” (6.4cm) biscuit cutter to press straight down in the dough. Cut out as many biscuits as you can before gathering the scraps and reworking the dough to cut out more biscuits.

Bake: Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 1” apart, and bake in 425F (220C) preheated oven for 12 minutes. When biscuits are finished baking the tops should just be beginning to turn a light golden brown.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet a bit before serving. These are wonderful served with a bit of butter or honey butter!
