Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs & oil; whisk until combined.
Add flour & cornmeal; stir until no lumps remain.
Pour batter into a greased pan & bake for 25 mins or until golden brown.
Let cool before slicing.
Notes
For cornbread with extra flavor, try adding diced jalapenos or chopped cilantro to the batter!
If you are using a different type of pan, such as an 8-inch square pan, the baking time may vary. Keep an eye on it and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with adding other ingredients to your cornbread for a unique twist! Try adding crumbled bacon or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
If you like your cornbread extra sweet, you can add more sugar to taste.
For an extra kick of flavor, try adding in some diced green onions or garlic powder to the batter!
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This will help ensure that everything mixes together evenly.
