PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese and corn. Pour in cream and stir just until dough begins to hold together.

2. On a well-floured surface roll out dough to 9 x 10 rectangle about 3/4" thick. Using 1 1/2" round biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible and place them 1" apart on un-greased baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to racks. Re roll scraps. Cut out and bake remaining biscuits
