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
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and pour it into an 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring an even coating to prevent sticking and add rich flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour in the 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk and stir gently until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the biscuits remain tender and flaky.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the 1 cup of blueberries, taking care not to crush them to maintain their integrity and juicy bursts throughout the biscuits.
- Transfer Dough: Pour the batter into the prepared buttered baking dish and spread it evenly to create a uniform thickness for consistent baking.
- Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 squares. This helps with even portioning and easy serving once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Rest and Serve: Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes to set before cutting along the scored lines. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by honey or jam for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough biscuits.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw before mixing to avoid bleeding.
- Scoring before baking helps with easier serving and creates lovely biscuit squares.
- Letting the biscuits rest after baking enhances their texture and flavor.
- The baked biscuits pair wonderfully with honey, jam, or butter.
