Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the cracklings.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
Pour the cornbread batter into the hot skillet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
