- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup buttermilk* (can be non dairy)

Can u double the recipe n put in cast iron pan. Also can I use frozen blueberries
Hi Tina- Sure you can double the recipe( although I don’t know the size of your cast iron pan). You will have to use your best cook’s judgement! You can use frozen blueberries with this warning- they get watery and may dilute the batter around them… but try it and report back! You could use dried fruit instead also like chopped apricots or cherries! Have fun and let me know! Thanks for visiting ?
Can you use regular milk versus buttermilk?
Hi Terry- Sure-substitute plain milk if you like, but it’s easy to make your own “quick buttermilk” by adding 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or plain white or apple cider vinegar to 1 cup milk. Let sit 5 minutes, then stir. That tangy flavor makes the cornbread moist, tender and tasty. Enjoy, keep asking questions and keep baking!
I made this in an iron skillet … delicious!
