Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid excessive mixing; a few lumps are okay for the ideal texture.
Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter to coat the surface.
Shape and Cook: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop portions of the batter onto the skillet. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
Serve Warm: Corn Dodgers are best enjoyed warm. Serve them alongside your favorite main dish, soup, or as a delightful snack.
