Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven.
Step 2
Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk milk and egg together in a separate bowl until combined.
Step 4
Stir milk mixture into cornmeal mixture until just combined—don't overmix.
Step 5
Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Add 3 tbsp butter and swirl to coat.
