Instructions: Heat oven to 400 degrees.

When hot, heat an 8-inch cast-iron divided triangle pan in oven until very hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine all but about 1 teaspoon of the butter, buttermilk, and egg. Stir into the dry ingredients just until blended. Remove triangle pan from oven to a trivet or hot pad. Using a pastry brush, quickly coat pan with the remaining teaspoon of melted butter. Pour batter into pan, filling each triangle about two-thirds full. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and cool for 5 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and cool completely on rack.

Makes 8 triangles.
