- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (1 stick), 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
