1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. yellow cornmeal
1 tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 stick butter
1 egg
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 tbsp. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl thoroughly mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is the size of coarse meal.

Beat the egg lightly into the buttermilk; pour into the dry ingredients and mix until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead about 6 times. Roll to 1/2 inch thick and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.

Brush the surface of each biscuit with melted butter and fold over into half circles; place on greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Makes about 2 dozen.
