Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour Use fresh flour for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it is fresh.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk Alternatively, use milk with lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute.

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
