Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.

  3. 3

    Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir the melted butter and 1 cup milk into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm with extra butter.
