Ingredients

½ cup - unsalted butter
1 cup - buttermilk
1 - egg
⅓ cup - pure maple syrup
1 cup - all purpose flour
1 cup - cornmeal
1 tbsp - baking powder
½ tsp - baking soda
½ tsp - salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" cast iron skillet and set aside.
Melt the butter in the microwave in a large bowl and allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk, egg and maple syrup until combined.
Add the all purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir just until incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cast iron skillet and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm and enjoy!
