1 cup (5 ounces; 142 grams) flour

⅓ cups (2.75 ounces, 77 grams) sugar

Οδηγίες

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the tablespoon of unmelted butter in an 8-inch square metal pan or ceramic baking dish. About 2 minutes before you are ready to pour the batter into the pan, put the pan in the preheated oven to melt the butter.

Sift or whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk in the cornmeal.

Whisk together the buttermilk, egg and the 4 tablespoons of melted butter in a mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, until well incorporated. Pour the flour mixture over the buttermilk mixture, then stir slowly until just combined. You will see some small lumps in the batter; that's okay.

Remove the pan from the oven and tilt it to coat the bottom and sides with its now-melted butter, which may be browned but should not be burnt. Scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the top and spreading it into the corners.

Bake (middle rack) for about 20 minutes, until the top feels firm when pressed and the golden-brown edges have pulled away from the sides of the pan a bit. A tester inserted into the center should come out clean.

Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then use a round-edged knife to loosen the edges, lift out the slab, cut into squares and serve warm.
