   Preheat an 8-to9-inch cast-iron skillet in the hot oven.

6. 6

   Add the egg and stir to combine.

7. 7

   Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot skillet and immediately place it in the oven.

8. 8

   Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown.

   Remove from the oven and unmold; serve hot.
