Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
- Mix kosher salt and remaining 2 teaspoons peppercorns in a small bowl.
- 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.
- Cut crosswise into 12 strips and arrange 1/8 inch apart on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- 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.

SPICY CORNMEAL CRACKERS
From the Baker's Dozen cookbook. Beautiful crackers! You may cook both sheets of crackers at once if you have 2 baking stones, however, halfway though the baking time, switch the sheets so that they bake more evenly. If you allow for the dough to chill for 1hr+ it may crack and need to sit for 10 minutes to lose its chill. Overmixing the dough will make your crackers tough, so be careful! Prep time does not include chilling.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer use the paddle attachment to combine the water and oil.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt (not the coarse salt), and red pepper flakes.
- Turn the machine onto low and pour in flour mixture.
- Blend just until the dough comes together.
- By hand- mix flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper flakes in a large bowl.
- Mix oil and water in a separate medium bowl.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and pour oil/water into the center.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined, as with muffins. (This may require some hand-kneading to combine thoroughly)
- On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a flat rectangle.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- If using baking stone (preferred method) place stone in oven about 45 minutes before baking to heat.
- Place the rack in the center of the oven.
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
- Remove from refrigerator and dough into 2 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface roll dough into a 16x12 inch rectangle.
- (If dough "resists and retracts" let is rest and work with the other piece of dough) Transfer your rectangles to your baking sheet by lightly rolling them around your rolling pin then spreading them on the baking sheets.
- Poke each rectangle all over with a fork.
- If you would like consistent shapes, score lightly with a sharp knife.
- Mist with water and sprinkle with the course salt.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until dough is set- one sheet at a time.
- Transfer on the paper onto a rack to cool.
- Let cool completely, then break into irregularly shaped crackers or break at score marks.
- Store into an airtight container for up to 3 days.
