1
Heat oven to 400u00b0 F. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add butter, and watch it melt and then brown (it will smell nutty and delicious), swirling the skillet around so it browns evenly. Turn burner off.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3
Pour milk and yogurt into at least a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Add egg, and whisk until smooth.
4
Pour about 3 tablespoons of butter into the bottom of your baking dish, and swirl it around so that the bottom is coated. Pour the rest into the measuring cup with the liquid ingredients.
5
Fold liquid ingredients into dry ingredients until just blended. Pour batter into the baking dish and smooth the top. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
