Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl or in food processor. Either cut in butter using fingertips or a fork to make a crumbly mixture, or add butter to processor and pulse until crumbly.

  2. Step 2

    Beat egg and buttermilk or yogurt together and stir in, mixing to make a very soft dough. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of buttermilk, if needed, to hold the dough together.

I found this dough too wet to shape in any way. I use King Arthur flour, if that makes a difference.

Dough did hold together and was very sticky Still used but adding more liquid seemed counter intuitive
