step 1
In a large bowl, stir together the All-Purpose Flour (2 1/3 cups), Cornmeal (1/4 cup), Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the Butter (1 cup) into the flour mixture until it is crumbly and the butter is pea-sized.
step 1 In a large bowl, stir together the All-Purpose Flour (2 1/3 cups), Cornmeal (1/4 cup), Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp). Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the Butter (1 cup) into the flour mixture until it is crumbly and the butter is pea-sized.
step 2
Shift the butter and flour mix to one side of the bowl. On the empty side, add one tablespoon of Water (1/2 cup) and toss the dry mix into it. Continue this process, one tablespoon of water at a time, until the mixture is moist. Work quickly and do not overwork the mix or the crust will be tough.
step 3
Press the dough together into a flat disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
step 4
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place oven rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll the prepared cornmeal crust until thin like you would use for a traditional pie. Cut into even rectangles.
