*A note from Betsy at Recipelink:This recipe has been reported as not working - there are unanswered questions about it - should it use baking powder or baking soda - usually you would use baking soda with buttermilk. There is too much liquid for the batter - 2 1/2 cups liquid ingredients to 2 1/2 cups flour and the batter is too sweet. Here's a note from Colette with her results to check out:
