    Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 cups Marsh Hen Mill Cornmeal (Pictured with Unicorn Cornmeal) 
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon pepper 
    • 2 teaspoons salt 
    • 2 teaspoons sugar or honey 
    • 6 tablespoons cold, cubed butter 
    • 1/4 cup buttermilk or milk 

    Directions:

    1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, sugar (or honey), salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine.
    2. Add Butter: Lay the cubed butter on top of the dry mixture. Pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse, thick cornmeal.
    3. Form Dough: With the food processor running, add the buttermilk and process until a ball of dough forms.
    4. Roll Out Dough: Cut two 12" wide pieces of wax paper. Remove half of the dough and place it on one sheet of wax paper. Top with the second sheet and roll until 1/4" thick.
      Repeat with the second half of the dough.
    5. Chill: Place the rolled dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
    6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    7. Cut Crackers: Remove the cornmeal mix from the freezer and peel off the top layer of wax paper. Cut into 1 1/2" squares, saving the scraps to roll out more crackers.
    8. Bake: Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
    9. Cool: Let the crackers cool on the baking sheets.
    10. Enjoy!
