Procedure
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 1 3-inch baking pan by rubbing butter or spraying with cooking vegetable oil spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, and eggs together. Add the milk, and mix until well combined. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and grated cheese together in a separate bowl.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the milk mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon just until all of the dry particles are moistened.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and place it on the middle rack. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
