How to make Sweet Pan Cornbread

  1. Heat the oven to 350Β°F and grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.

  2. Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in one bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the melted butter, oil, milk and eggs.

  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
