Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
Preparation
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking pan, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Add the melted butter, and whisk to just combine.
Pour mixture into pan; bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let stand overnight, uncovered.
