Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, and egg until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with an extra dollop of butter or drizzle of honey, if desired.
