- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
