Black Pepper Cornmeal Crisps Recipe

Black Pepper Cornmeal Crisps Recipe

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk at room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • Special equipment: 2 nonstick baking sheets or pans
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Mix together butter and egg in a blender. Add milk, pepper, and flour mixture and blend just until smooth.
  4. Drop 6 scant tablespoons batter about 5 inches apart onto a buttered baking sheet. Spread each dollop of batter with back of a spoon into a 5-inch round.
  5. Bake 1 sheet of wafers in middle of oven until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes, then transfer wafers to a rack to cool. Form 6 more wafers on second sheet while first is baking, then continue to make wafers, 1 sheet at a time. (Sheets should be cooled but not cleaned between batches.)
