Recipe View Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. This adds a nutty depth to the muffins.
Buttermilk is crucial for the texture and tang of these muffins. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for longer storage.
