Instructions

Notes
- Ensure that you don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- For a crispier topping, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing it to prevent it from breaking apart.
