Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and oil.

4

Pour the egg mixture over the cornmeal mixture. Stir it all up.

5

Grease an 8-inch baking dish and pour the batter in.

6

Tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly. Tap it lightly on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
