In bowl of stand mixer, mix together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and smoked paprika. Cut butter into small pieces and toss with flour; sprinkle in cheese and mix. Turn on mixer and mix until dough forms looks sandy with a few pea-sized chunks; about 3-4 minutes. Add corn and egg; blend for 1 to 2 minutes longer until medium-firm dough is formed. Press dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in freezer for about 30 minutes.

Unwrap dough and place on lightly floured work surface. Working with 1/4th of the dough at a time, roll out into 1/8-inch-thick layer. With square or round or small animal-shaped cutters, cut out crackers and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake crackers about 12-13 minutes or until barely light golden brown. Cool on baking rack.
