What you need:

1 2/3 cups of cornmeal
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tbsp of baking powder
1 tsp of salt
1 1/2 cups of half & half
3/4 cups of melted butter
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Dump the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix them well. In another container mix the half & half, butter, and eggs well. Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and stir it until it's moistened. Don't mix too much or it'll get chewy; it's all right if the batter is lumpy.

Grease a 9-inch square pan or a muffin tray, then put the batter in. Bake it for 20-25 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.

A fun variation is blue cornbread, which you make with blue cornmeal. The recipe is exactly the same; just use cornmeal made from blue corn. If you can't find that at your local farmer's market, some Amazon sellers have it.
