1. Preheat oven to 350. Put 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in an 8-inch square baking pan; place in oven just long enough to melt butter, about 3 minutes. In a bowl, stir together 1 cup flour (spooned and leveled), 1 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.

2. stir in 1 large egg and 3/4 cup milk until just combined.

3. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

jiffy mix is good! It's just not as rich as this recipe thanks to all the butter!!! JD, you cook!???!

If you're asking if I'm afraid to get in the kitchen and try something...the answer is 'no'.

If you're asking if I can cook alot of different things and they taste good...the answer is still 'no'!

Until I went to school in Seattle, about the only thing I could cook was poptarts - and even that was a stretch. My dad and my then boyfriend saw me floundering in school and suggested I give culinary arts a try. I guess my boyfriend was tired of cooking cream of wheat. I didn't realize how much I would love my new career. It's a lot of work, but I've never been more at home!
