Corn Bread Triangles

Corn Bread Triangles
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
1/2 - 3/4 cup water
Mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the oil. Then blend in the water gradually to form a soft dough that is just dry enough to handle. Roll out to a thin circle (as thin as you want/can get it) then cut into triangles. Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or so until crisp and golden.

This is a cornbread-style recipe I came up with when I wanted something tortilla chip-like to use for my dip for a Latin/Caribbean buffet. This is what I came up with. The recipe doubles or halves well and has a nice texture and crunch. Alternately, the dough can be baked as biscuits, or cut even thinner and fried in oil or deep-fried.
