Method
Batter

Combine dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt until evenly distributed and there are no lumps.

Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and the cooled melted butter until smooth and homogenous.

Mix batter
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Scrape the bottom and sides to incorporate dry pockets. The batter should be thick but pourable — do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Pan & Bake
- 5
Heat butter in pan
Carefully remove the preheated skillet or pan from the oven using oven mitts. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and swirl to melt and coat the bottom and sides. The butter will sizzle and may brown slightly — this adds flavor.
