Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Fruit
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and pour it into an 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring the bottom is well-coated.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them, to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer and spread dough: Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
- Score dough: Using a knife, lightly score the top of the dough into 9 squares to make it easy to cut after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes after removing them from the oven. Serve warm with honey or jam if desired for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy biscuits.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw to prevent color bleed.
- You can substitute buttermilk with milk plus a teaspoon of lemon juice if needed.
- Butter lining the baking dish adds moisture and a rich flavor to the biscuits.
- Allow biscuits to cool slightly before cutting to prevent crumbling.
