Preparation

  • In a big bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until creamy.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix gently until just blended.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.

Cooking
