Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup melted butter slightly cooled
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or 9-inch cast iron skillet with butter.*
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean or with just a few moist crumbs, abbot 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
*If you are using a cast iron skillet and want really crispy edges, try preheating the skillet in the oven, then adding the batter to the hot skillet before baking. Once removing from the oven, let it sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing and removing.
