Tips
----
* If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by mixing 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using in the recipe.
* You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for an extra layer of flavor.
* Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until everything is just combined.
