Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup stone-ground cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 3/4 cup butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • Additional butter, melted
  • Coarse sea salt
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and red pepper in a food processor. Add 3/4 cup butter. Pulse 3-4 times until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and mix in cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk until combined. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients until just moistened.
  • On a floured surface, gently knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Shape the dough into a 10x7-inch rectangle, then cut it into 15 squares. Transfer the squares onto a cookie sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, then serve warm.
