For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 2-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. A touch of honey or maple syrup can be added to the batter for an even sweeter cornbread. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
