Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 large egg. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional. 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting.
