This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was selected by Lindsay from A Little Something… Sweet. She chose Maple Cornmeal Biscuits, which are a quick little drop biscuit sweetened with a little maple syrup. You can get the complete recipe on Lindsay’s blog. I’m sure that the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers exercised their creativity this week and mixed up the recipe a bit. You can see all of their posts linked off of the Tuesdays with Dorie site.
The past weekend, when I typically bake my Tuesdays with Dorie recipes, was super busy as I had my ballet recital plus ballet photos. Luckily, these biscuits take virtually no time to make, maybe 5 minutes to stir together the dough and then 15 minutes to bake them. I decided to cut the recipe in half and I made 8 biscuits, so I guess mine are a little on the smaller side. I made mine early in the weekend, before the other Tuesdays with Dorie bloggers posted that these bake quickly and to watch the time. Oops, I baked mine for the full time and they got a little scorched along the edges. I should know better to watch!
Since I over baked mine, they did dry out quite quickly but they weren’t too bad right out of the oven. It’s amazing, I use a fairly fine-ground cornmeal, but these were still quite crunchy. I thought that the maple flavor was subtle, just a bit of background sweetness. I think that you could sweeten these up and serve them with butter and jam, or they would pair well with a soup for a more savory application. I had mine just plain, which was pretty good, too. Next time, I will watch the oven more carefully, but baking accidents happen from time to time.

They look like they turned out wonderfully.
They did cook quickly. But they were crumbly and delicious. I served some with dinner with a bit of butter. They were also a yummy snack with jam! Great recipe.
Mine cooked quickly and I took them out after about 11 minutes. They were done.
I thought about making half also. There was not that much dough to start with so I went with it.
Yours look fine to me.
I love mine crunchy, so I'm sure yours were delicious! :)
love the color!

They look great to me! Mine got a bit too brown on the bottom, but I ate them anyway.

Those look beautiful! Loved them.
I wanted to be a ballet dancer growing up. Your biscuits look golden and delicious.
They look wonderful - not too scorchy! I agree, the maple flavor was not really prominent, but they were still tasty.
Yours look great. Don't you love that they took no time at all? Thanks for baking along with me.
