Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter an 8-inch square baking dish, and place it in the hot oven while you prepare the batter.
• Sift or stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and the melted butter until well-blended. Add the sugar, salt, milk and vinegar and beat well. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture just until the batter is smooth.

• Serve warm.
