3 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 c. corn meal
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. melted butter
1 tsp. butter

Beat eggs with sugar until blended. Sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk to the egg-sugar mixture. Stir thoroughly after each addition. Stir in melted butter.

Melt the 1 teaspoon butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet and thoroughly coat sides. Pour batter into the warm skillet. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until top just begins to brown. Serve warm in wedges from the skillet.
