  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine buttermilk, egg, molasses and oil; add to dry ingredients and mix well.
