When it comes to ingredients, feel free to mix and match based on what you have on hand. If you’re out of buttermilk, a quick substitute can be made by combining regular milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. For those who have allergies, consider gluten-free flour to replace the all-purpose flour, and keep an eye on the sugar content if you’re adjusting for dietary needs.
