For a lighter texture, consider using half all-purpose flour and half cornmeal if you don't have self-rising flour. If you prefer a sweeter bread, you can increase the sugar to 1 cup. Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly. If you want to add some flavor, try incorporating grated cheese or jalapeños into the batter for a savory twist.
