  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
