Ingredients

1 c. cornmeal

1 c. all-purpose flour

1/4 c. sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 egg

1 c. milk

4 Tbsp. butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Melt butter in a 10-inch iron skillet. Mix together all the dry ingredients. Stir in the egg and slowly add milk. If you plan to bake in the skillet, swirl the butter around the skillet so the bottom of the pan is coated. Add the melted butter from the skillet to the batter. Mix the batter well. Pour into the hot skillet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Alternative directions: Melt the butter in a microwave oven and mix as directed. Spray the bottom of a 9-inch round or square pan with nonstick cooking spray (or use oil or shortening). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a 375 F oven.
