Cornmeal-Buttermilk Dough
 
Makes 1 (9-inch) crust
Ingredients
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons plain yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons whole buttermilk
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
Notes
For Spiced Cornmeal-Buttermilk Dough, replace sugar with ¼ teaspoon Creole seasoning, and add ¼ cup shredded extra sharp Cheddar cheese when cutting in cold butter.
