Bacon, Pepper Jack, and Green Onion Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Incorporate cold butter into flour mixture with your fingers—you want smaller pieces of butter/flour throughout.

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Add this to your flour/butter mixture. Mix with fork until most of the flour is moist. The dough will be shaggy.

Add bacon bits, green onions and pepper Jack cheese and work together briefly. Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and form into a disk, about 2 inches thick. Cut disk into 6 to 8 pieces and place onto parchment paper on baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove from fridge and brush tops of biscuits with cream and sprinkle kosher salt if desired.

Bake on the middle rack for 24 to 27 minutes till golden brown.
