- Melt 1/2 cup butter in the microwave or on top of the stove, allow to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes while chilling the buttermilk.
- Place the buttermilk in the the freezer for 5-7 minutes or until very cold but not frozen (the buttermilk needs to be very cold before adding in the melted butter).

these are so easy and absolutely delicious! you can put them together in about 15 minutes, and they are very forgiving. I always get rave reviews, and I live in the South so there are some tough judges around here. Moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. I always create a well in the dry ingredients before I add the liquid in, and it really helps in terms of combining without overmixing.
