Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
