Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat up.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of all purpose flour, 2 cups of cornmeal, 2.5 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup of melted butter.

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, swirling to coat.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the hot skillet, hearing the sizzling sound as it hits the pan.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the center is set and springy.

Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
