 Stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a 2-cup
 measuring pitcher, beat together egg, milk, and oil. Set aside.

 uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 30 to 45 seconds or until melted. Stir
 in brown sugar until combined. Stir in pineapple. Cook uncovered, on high
 for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly, stirring once. Stir in ham. Add milk
 mixture to flour mixture and stir just until batter is smooth (do not
 overbeat). Spoon batter over hot sugar mixture. Cook, uncovered on 50%
 power (medium) for 6 minutes, rotating dish a half-turn once. Cook
 uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Test for doneness by scratching the wet
 surface near the center with a wooden toothpick. A cooked texture should
 appear underneath. If not done, cook, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for
 30 seconds to 2 minutes more. Let stand, uncovered, for 10 munutes. Invert
 onto a serving platter. Cut until wedges. Serve warm with syrup. Makes 6
