  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the glaze, use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. You can also use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as bright.
