Tip: If you do not have buttermilk you can make your own with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and top it off with any milk until you reach 1-½ cups. Let it sit at least 5 minutes.

    My girls and I are eating these now. These are SO delicious. I did add a shake of ground nutmeg along with the cinnamon. We'll be making these again. Thank you!
