- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- You can substitute pecans or walnuts for the cranberries if desired.
