Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the batter until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey, and enjoy!
