By ClaudiaJan

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 425 with rack in center. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan, and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until frothy. Pour the milk-and-egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are just
incorporated. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Cook until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out dry, 20 to 25 minutes.
