Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or oil.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg, then stir in 1 cup milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—batter should be lumpy.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm with butter.
