Cornmeal lends these crackers a golden glow and a nice crunch; lots of crushed green peppercorns (left over fromChicken Spice Rub) provide an intriguing spiciness. Serve them with cheese or all on their own with cocktails.
Ingredients
Makes about 60
Step 1
Whisk together flours, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons peppercorns, and table salt in a bowl. Blend in butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir just until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead 6 to 8 times. Cut into 5 pieces, then chill, covered with plastic wrap, 10 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
Step 3
Mix kosher salt and remaining 2 teaspoons peppercorns in a small bowl.
Step 4
Roll out 1 piece of dough on a well-floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 15- by 4-inch rectangle (1/8 inch thick). Lightly brush with egg, then prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon salt-and-pepper mixture.
Step 5
Cut crosswise into 12 strips and arrange 1/8 inch apart on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 6
Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden-brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool crackers slightly, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
Crackers keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.

Back to Top好的配方。我滚我更像是一个饼干cut them 1X2". I will make them thinner next time. I just don't want them so brittle as to break when stored. I reduced salt in recipe but used more on top. This time I'm using Himalayan Pink. I was pretty generous w/green peppercorns because I had so many I bought in Istanbul. Another version could be black pepper and black sesame/nigella seed. Lots of possibilities. Try urfa or za'tar? Having cornmeal in the dough is what gives it a special crunchy quality. If you us more than one combination, make sure your clean your work surface well.These are excellent w/red wine. Great pairing for gift!
