Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray both a baking tray and a 1/3-cup measure with non-stick spray. Place the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process briefly to combine them. Cut the butter into thin slices and distribute them on top of the dry mixture. Using several long pulses, process butter is uniformly cut into the dry ingredients, and the resulting mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour the 2/3 cup buttermilk into a 2-cup liquid measure. Add the egg, and beat gently with a fork or a small whisk til well blended. With the food processor running, pour the buttermilk mixture directly through the feed tube and into the dough. As soon as the batter comes together (after about 2 seconds), turn off the machine. Remove the food processor blade. Use the sprayed 1/3-cup measure then shake it out onto the prepared baking tray. Continue this process til you have 6 or 8 hunks of batter, arranged several inches apart on the tray. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear all over. Cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
