Buttermilk If you dont have buttermilk on hand just use regular milk with a squeeze of lemon juice added into itIf you dont want to use blueberries I love to sub with raspberriesI like to bake the blueberry crumb cakes in muffin tins for easy individual servings but you could also bake it in a 9x9 baking pan for 5060 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean.
