Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense cornbread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cornbread is baking, prepare the maple butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and maple syrup. Whip the mixture with a fork or whisk until it is light and fluffy.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
Serve warm with a generous slather of maple butter for an irresistible treat!
