How to Make 365 Day Buttermilk Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
