  • 1/4 tsp salt a pinch to enhance the sweetness
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk adds moisture and a slight tang
  • 1 large egg binds everything together

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract complement the flavors
For the Filling

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
