  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg and 3 tablespoons butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
  4. Remove skillet from the oven and add remaining 3 tablespoons until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
