- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup Cheese

- 1 tbsp sugar

- 2-3 stems Cilantro
- 8-10 Basil leaves
Buttermilk
- 1 tbsp White Vinegar
- 1 cup Milk
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut butter into cubes and keep it in the refrigerator until it is ready to be added. Psyllium Husk gel: Mix 3-4 tbsp water to psyllium husk and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Buttermilk: Add 1 tbsp of white vinegar to milk and let it rest.
- Coarsely grind frozen corn in a blender with 1 tsp of water added. Thoroughly wash and chop basil and cilantro leaves.
- Grate cheese and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 deg F.
Making the dough
- Sieve dry ingredients - sorghum flour, masa harina, rice flour, salt, and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Discard any lumps or large pieces.
- Take out the cubed butter, and add to the mixing bowl. With a fork, press and cut the butter cubes to mix them into the flour. Once the butter pieces are smaller, rub the butter pieces into the flour mix taking care the butter doesn't melt.
- Once the butter is mixed in with the flour, add butter milk into the bowl. Fold the buttermilk in using a spoon/ spatula. Add chopped cilantro, basil and coarsely ground corn. Mix well to make sure the herbs and vegetables are distributed well throughout the dough.
- Now add about 3/4 of the grated cheese and mix well.
- You can adjust the salt at this stage. I now add in psyllium gel to make the dough cohesive. Mix well and now your dough is ready to be baked!
Baking
- Grease a cupcake pan with butter or oil. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out the dough and add to the pan.
- Top off the biscuits with some grated cheese and corn. Optionally, you could also spray the biscuits with some butter spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes and rotate the pan after 8-9 minutes to ensure a uniform bake.
- Insert a skewer to check if it comes out clean. Then, turn off the oven and let the biscuits stand in the oven for 2 minutes. Take them out and cool on a wire rack.
- Corn and Cheese biscuits are enjoyed fresh out of the oven with some butter as a snack or as sides with some soup, or salad.
