Notes

Can I use milk and not buttermilks? Yes, you can change out the buttermilk for regular milk.
Can I add a glaze? Yes, you can easily add a glaze to these muffins when they are done. When making a glaze I like to mix 1 - 1 ½ cup of powder sugar along with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Storing Tips: You can leave these muffins on the countertop for 1-2 days. You can also place them in a large freezer bag and freeze them for up to 2 months. When you are ready to eat you can reheat them in the microwave.
