Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl until combined.
Step 4
Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 5
Carefully add butter to the hot skillet. Pour batter in and spread evenly.
Step 6
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15–17 minutes.
Step 7
Cool in the skillet 5 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack or serve straight from the pan.
