Notes
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a buttermilk substitute by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to a measuring cup then fill with milk to the 1 and 3/4 cup line. Stir then set aside for about 10 minutes to curdle. You can use natural yoghurt as well.
- Cooking oil: You can use your regular cooking oil or olive oil or coconut oil or butter.
- Honey: You may substitute the honey with any other sweetener of your choice such as maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses or regular sugar.
