Notes
Hints:
If the batter is too thick, add 1 to 2 Tablespoons additional buttermilk. The batter should be creamy and pourable.
To make your own buttermilk, add a splash of vinegar to plain milk and allow it to sit for 5 minutes to clabber.
If you have cornmeal instead of cornmeal mix, add 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
