**__Tip:__** No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according to package directions. Or make "sour milk": the ratio is 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.

__**Directions: **__ 1. Stir the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, the egg yolk, oil and vanilla (if using) in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until moistened. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">2.
