Ingredients

2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
2/3 cup cold water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Scrape down the sides, add the Cheddar, and blend the batter for 5 seconds, or until it is combined well. Spread 1/4 cup measures of the batter into 4-inch circles on buttered sheets and bake the crackers in batches in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 6 minutes. Turn the crackers and bake them for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until they are crisp. The crackers keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
