- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (or buttermilk)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup melted butter
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and grease the pan on all sides, either by smearing it with butter or spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

Set out a large mixing bowl. Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well to combine.

Set out a medium mixing bowl or measuring pitcher. Measure the milk in the pitcher, then crack the eggs into the milk. Whisk to combine.
