  • 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.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tins well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will rise too much and may overflow.
  • Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
