Step 1
Cut the cornbread into 2-inch squares. Pat each piece dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, add cornbread squares to the hot pan without crowding. Cook until deep golden, 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Transfer fried cornbread to a paper towel–lined plate. Season immediately with salt and pepper.
