Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a
9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while
you make the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal,
flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking
soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs.
Whisk in almost all of the melted butter,
reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet
later on.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven.
Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat
the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with
the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the
skillet and place it in the center of the oven.
Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester
or toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10
to 15 minutes and serve.
