Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are okay!
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
