1 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. cornmeal
1 c. milk
1 egg
1/4 c. stick butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in 8 x 8 inch pan in oven while you are preparing corn bread. Sift flour and baking powder. Add sugar, salt and cornmeal; mix. Then add milk and egg. Stir until smooth, about 1 minute.

Remove pan from oven and spread cornbread mixture in pan over melted butter. Mix together just enough to coat cornbread. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.
