These golden beauties bake up quick as a ship's bell—craggy, tender, and ready for slatherin'.

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ⅔ cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
