Cooking
with Wine
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup milk

In a bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add milk all at once. Stir just until dough clings together.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
