  1. Hi Kristin, just made my first batch (while in lock-down) and the house smells unbelievably good!!! Can’t wait to eat them with our morning coffee tomorrow.
    I did not have buttermilk, so substituted with yoghurt and milk 70-30, and one cup of butter with a cup of oil (butter is so expensive), so it might come out a little different than yours, but I am excited!
    Thank you for this great receipe!
