- ½ tsp salt
- 1¾ cups buttermilk (or milk + 1½ tbsp lemon juice)
- 2 large eggs

- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet
- In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine
- Gently mix wet into dry just until combined.
- Batter should be thick and slightly lumpy (don’t overmix!).
- Rest
- Let batter rest 5–10 minutes for extra fluffiness.
