1 tablespoon sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 ½ cups buttermilk

Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet and allow to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and cooled butter. Add to the dry ingredients whisking or stirring until just combined. A few lumps are ok. Pour into cast iron skillet or prepared baking dish.
