Ingredients

For biscuits

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water

For filling

1/2 lb kielbasa (Polish smoked sausage), cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 lb plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 fresh jalapeño chile, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

For topping

2/3 cup sour cream stirred

Preparation

  1. Make biscuits:

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and soda, salt, and sugar into a bowl and blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.

    Step 3

    Stir together sour cream and water, then stir into flour mixture with a fork until just combined.

    Step 4

    Drop dough in 4 evenly spaced mounds on a buttered baking sheet and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool biscuits slightly on a rack.

  2. Make filling while biscuits bake:

    Step 5

    Brown kielbasa in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning it, and transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then cook tomatoes, onion, and jalape‱o, stirring, until tomatoes are softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 6

    Toss tomato mixture with kielbasa and stir in cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.

  3. Step 7

    Split warm biscuits and spoon filling and sour cream onto bottom halves. Put tops on biscuits.
