1. In a med saucepan, bring cornmeal and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and stir buttermilk into cornmeal mixture (either in saucepan or a separate bowl).

3. Sift together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Beat egg and melted butter together. Stir flour mixture and egg mixture into cornmeal/buttermilk until just combined.
