Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until fully incorporated, then add melted butter.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool slightly before slicing and serve warm with butter.
