Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, tilting to coat the surface evenly.

Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs, then add melted butter and stir until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Gently fold in the caramelized onions.

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and place it back in the oven for a few minutes to heat up.

Carefully remove the skillet and pour in the cornbread batter.

Optionally, arrange additional caramelized onions on top for decoration.

Bake the cornbread for about 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned on the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
