Instructions

• 1 Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F (204°C). 
• 2 While the oven is heating up, place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to warm
  up.
• 3 In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and
  salt. Mix the dry ingredients well.
• 4  In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, or melted butter,
  and a large egg. 
• 5 Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is
  combined, but be cautious not to overmix.
• 6 Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven, and add the remaining
  butter or oil to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. 
• 7 Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and spread it evenly. 
• 8 Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick
  inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be crispy!
• 9 Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into slices.
