Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and half a teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Let kids pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Combine and Pour
Stir the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined and no large streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake Until Golden
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving warm with butter.
