1 cup milk

¹/₄ cup butter, melted

1 large egg

1-¹/₄ cups yellow, white, or blue cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

¹/₂ cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

¹/₂ teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease bottom and side of an 8-10 inch cast-iron skillet with butter.

In a large bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients all at once just until flour is moistened. The batter should be a little lumpy. Pour into skillet.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
