You need Maple Cornmeal Biscuits in your life. They are a wonderfully simple mix between biscuit and crumbly corn bread and only take about 10 minutes to make and another 15 minutes to bake.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat.
In a medium bowl whisk together the wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter in using a fork or pastry blender until is resembles sand.
In a small bowl mix the milk and maple syrup together. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Using a large scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute the whole wheat pastry flour for all-purpose. You can also sub the whole wheat flour for self-rising flour, just reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and omit the salt.
