  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and minced garlic until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently about 8 times until combined.
