Step 1

Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine well.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your oil or butter, milk, and egg. Stir just until the mixture comes together and there are only a few lumps remaining.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Serve hot.
