Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for melting)
- additional butter for greasing
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
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare butter: 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 to coat the bottom and sides.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain biscuit tenderness.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to avoid crushing them, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Transfer dough to dish: Pour the biscuit batter into the buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly to fill all corners.
- Score the dough: Using a knife, lightly score the top of the batter into 9 equal squares to create biscuit shapes for easy separation after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy with honey or your favorite jam.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Score the dough gently to avoid slicing all the way through the batter.
- Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
- Fresh blueberries are recommended, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
- Optional toppings include honey, jam, or additional melted butter.
