Tips

  • To make your own buttermilk at home, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt if you prefer. This will give your muffins a slightly tangier flavor and a moist texture.
