Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
Step 3
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir the melted butter and 1 cup milk into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm with extra butter.
