Notes
You can make your own buttermilk by mixing ¾ cup of milk with 2 tsp of lemon juice or vinegar — let sit for 5 minutes.
For extra flavor, mix in chopped pickles, jalapeños, or cooked bacon before topping.
To keep the crust soft during reheating, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
