These are on the list now too. I tried johnnyFive's recipe before but made made mess of it since the liquid/dry ratio is about twice my mom's recipe which I'm used to. Maybe I'll get it right this time.

Dunno if this is on point, but the key is to not mix the liquid + dry until right before you put them in the oven. The liquid ingredients (primarily the acid in the buttermilk) start the action on the baking soda and powder right away, and if you do it too soon it won't rise properly.

I remember thinking the batter was very thin. You're probably spot on and i stirred and poked at it too long hoping something would change and lost most of the baking soda leavening.
