  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and oil (and melted butter, if using).
  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 pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
