2 to 4 Tbsp. butter
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Make sure your oven's accurate, too; it really needs to be up to temperature to get perfect results. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar. (If baking powder or soda appear at all lumpy, sift them in). Stir well to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil. Spray a 9 to 10-1/4” cast iron skillet with Pam (our skillets are 10-1/4”; this size is called a Number 7). Put the skillet on over medium heat, add the butter, and heat until the butter melts and is sizzling seriously. Tilt the pan to coat the sides of the skillet. As the butter's melting, quickly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and, using a wooden spoon, stir the wet and dry together with as few strokes as possible, only as many as are needed to combine the two. Don't beat it; don't smooth it out. Scrape the batter into the hot, buttery skillet (if you've gotten it hot enough it will sizzle as it goes in) and pop it in the oven immediately. Bake until golden brown on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve, hot, cut in wedges.
