- Now add half the buttermilk, mix in, then add the remaining buttermilk
- Now mix in the flour 1 cup at a time for a smooth dough…the dough will be light and fluffy
- Using the scoop, place the cakes 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet (dough will spread)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes
- Remove from oven and cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a rack or plate to cool completely
- Let the cakes cool to touch before glazing -also glazing is optional, these are great without the glaze too!
