Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with butter, honey, or jam!
