Cozy cornbread

Is it still cold and drizzly where you are? Or at least cold enough for a cozy winter dinner of cornbread and soup? I may be prejudiced, but I swear that my mom has the best cornbread recipe. It's a little rustic, not really sweet at all (allowing me to drizzle honey on top with impunity) and dead simple.

Mom's cornbread recipe

Sift together:

Stir into:
1 cup cornmeal

Cut into flour mixture (using a food processor or a pastry knife):
1/3 cup soft butter

Beat together:
1 egg
1 cup milk

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just blended and pour into a well greased 8 inch square pan. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
