Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
  4. Add the vegetable oil and water to the mixing bowl and stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
  6. Place one portion of the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  7. Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
  8. Repeat this process with the remaining portion of the dough.
  9. Transfer the crackers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake the crackers in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly golden brown and crispy.
  11. Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
