Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine wheat flour, coarse corn flour, white sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix oil, butter, buttermilk (or substitute), and two large eggs. Beat well to combine.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir gently and thoroughly, scraping the bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense and hard bread.
Prepare Baking Pan: Grease the baking pan with butter or oil. Pour the batter into the pan and tap it gently to remove any air bubbles.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (about 204°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Rest and Serve: Let the cornbread rest for several minutes after baking before cutting and serving.
