For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before creaming it with the sugar. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling with milk to reach 3/4 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes before using. A dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream makes a lovely finishing touch.
