  2. 2

    In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Push dry ingredients to the sides of the bowl, so you have a well in the middle. Add milk and eggs to the well and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add melted butter and combine thoroughly. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.

  5. 5

    Remove hot pan from the oven and pour in batter. Smooth the top evenly and place back in oven. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating halfway through. If not baking in a cast iron skillet, it may take a few extra minutes to bake. Check with a toothpick inserted in the middle to come out clean.
