1/3 c cooking oil
1/2 c buttermilk
1 2/3 c all purpose flour

  • 2. Measure flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cardamom in a bowl and stir with a fork to mix well.
  • 3. Place remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk well to mix. Add flour mix and nuts and fold to mix just until no flour streaks show. Do not overmix.
