Ingredients

½ cup butter
⅔ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly whisk in eggs.
Combine buttermilk and baking soda in a small bowl; whisk mixture into the skillet. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well-blended and only a few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
