Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.
Baking

  2. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
Glazing
