Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat while the oven preheats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet. You should hear it sizzle as the batter touches the heated surface. This creates a crispy crust.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
