I also make my own buttermilk by using a measuring cup, adding about 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the measuring cup, then filling the cup to the 1\/2-cup mark with 2% milk, and stirring well.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, table salt, and granulated sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, or use two knives until dry ingredients resemble coarse meal.
