Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
Gently stir the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid a dense corn bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the corn bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
