Green-Peppercorn Cornmeal CrackersStephanie Foley

Cornmeal lends these crackers a golden glow and a nice crunch; lots of crushed green peppercorns (left over from Chicken Spice Rub ) provide an intriguing spiciness. Serve them with cheese or all on their own with cocktails.

Cooks note:

Crackers keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.
