Red and Blue Corn Sticks - butter

Method

• Brush 12 iron corn stick molds generously with some of the butter, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium-size bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• In another small bowl whisk together the milk, egg and remaining melted butter.
• Stir the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture just until moistened.
• The mixture will be a bit lumpy.
• Spread the mixture into the prepared molds, nearly filling them, and bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Serve warm.
