What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or butter lightly.
In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together milk, vinegar and chili powder; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese and corn (if using). Pour in milk mixture; stir with fork just until a soft, sticky dough forms. Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet; sprinkle tops with remaining cheese.
Bake for about 15 min or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Transfer to rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
Tips
Extra biscuits can be cooled, wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Warm in 350 °F (180 °C) oven for about 15 min before serving.
For the Adventurous: Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) drained canned chopped mild green chiles and 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh cilantro with cheese.
