In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add the cornmeal mixture to the milk mixture and stir just until the flour is moistened.
Pour batter into small greased pan and spread evenly. *(See Notes)
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Notes
Whip Up Honey Butter: Create a simple honey butter by mixing 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 2 to 3 teaspoons of honey. Keep it at room temperature for effortless spreading on your freshly baked cornbread.
Corn Muffin Option: If you're in the mood for corn muffins, go ahead and divide the batter into 3-4 greased muffin tins. Just follow the baking instructions in the original recipe.
Add Some Flair: Customize your cornbread by incorporating "extras" into the batter right before pouring it into the pan. If you do, add an extra 2 to 3 minutes to the standard baking time. Great add-ins include crumbled bacon and cheese, cooked or thawed corn, dried cranberries, or chopped walnuts.
