Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for board
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in pieces
1 egg
1/3 cup buttermilk or well-stirred plain yogurt

Steps:

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.
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.
