📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, butter, buttermilk and mix for ⏱️ 1 minute until mixture is smooth and has some bubbles. If your eggs and buttermilk were not at room temperature, there could be some lumps in this mixture. That's why it's important to use room temperature ingredients.
