Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with melted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

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 bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
