Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until no lumps remain.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: buttermilk, milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.

  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
