Preheat oven to 400°F. Put skillet in oven with butter and bacon fat. Heat for 5 minutes or till melted. Pour butter into large bowl, return skillet to oven.
Stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In separate bowl whisk melted butter, eggs, milk and corn. Add dry ingredients and stir till combined.
Remove skillet from oven, add remaining butter, and swirl to coat. Pour batter into pan, return to oven. Bake about 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove to rack after 10 minutes in pan. Cut into wedges, serve with butter.
