      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 was skeptical at first because I’m not a big fan of lemon. But with the buttermilk it was spectacular! My only variation was a touch of vanilla and I used brown sugar. I served it warm with whipped butter and raw honey. Just wonderful!

    I butchered this recipe all up. Used cinnamon and vanilla instead of the lemony bright theme. I blended up mixed berries also because biting into a whole piece of fruit in baked goods honestly freaks me out. And goat milk because it’s all I had. Turned out pretty good though. More like cupcakes than cornbread, but I was just dying for something sweet and I’d take anything I could get at the time.

      I admire your creativity, Jenna! You can do this with all sorts of mixes- in fact, what you used would go well with a spice cake or just plain cake mix. Keep baking! Chop up apples or pears in the cooler months. Thanks for your comment and keep baking!

    Haven’t tried this yet, but if you toss the berries with a tablespoon or two of flour before mixing them into the batter they’ll stay distributed through the muffins and won’t sink to the bottom as yours seem to have done.

      Thanks Denise. Good advice. You can scoop a few T of dry mix onto the blueberries and give them a stir before you begin mixing wet and dry.
      This technique works for any fruit/ nuts or other mix ins in almost any recipe.
      Readers like you help make us all better cooks! Thanks again.
