Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
Instructions
- Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the ½ cup of unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until fully liquefied.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk and stir gently just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them or overworking the dough.
- Combine with Butter: Pour the biscuit dough into the baking dish containing the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly, allowing the butter to mix slightly with the batter.
- Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the surface of the dough into 9 equal squares. This will allow the biscuits to separate easily after baking.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the biscuits for 25 to 28 minutes until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the butter to set and the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries as preferred; no need to thaw frozen ones before adding.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Melting the butter in the baking dish before adding the dough creates a rich buttery crust.
- Scoring the dough rather than cutting after baking helps retain moisture and texture.
- Serve warm with additional butter or honey for an extra treat.
