Ingredients:

3/4 cup cornmeal (or polenta) 1 and 1/2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 cup warm water 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8"-square pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, milk, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg. Add the water and melted butter to the egg, and mix well. Combine the two mixtures and blend together.
