For an extra depth of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste preferences. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. For a savory twist, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
