• Make the cornbread: In a medium bowl whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda, and whisk to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Add the ketchup, Worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, brown sugar, and black pepper to a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
