Cornmeal Drop Biscuits

I have several different types of cornmeal in my pantry. Finely ground, coarse ground, medium ground. I love them all. My go-to cornmeal recipe is mamaliga which is a cornmeal porridge that is very common in Romania. If you’ve had polenta then you know what I am talking about.

I’ll eventually post my mamaliga recipe one day but for now I am sharing these cornmeal biscuits! Buttery, airy, and a delightful toothsome texture from the cornmeal. I love these on the side of a wholesome stew in the wintertime.
