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 prepare the baking 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 evenly coated to add flavor and prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Add buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and light.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them so they maintain their shape and burst with flavor during baking.
- Transfer batter: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the butter-coated baking dish, making sure it reaches all edges for uniform baking.
- Score the top: Using a knife, lightly score the surface of the batter into 9 even squares to create biscuit portions for easy cutting once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Rest and serve: Allow the biscuits to rest for 5 minutes after baking. Serve warm, optionally adding honey or jam on top for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure biscuits remain fluffy and tender.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid coloring the batter blue.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps create evenly sized biscuits that are easy to separate.
- Serve warm with honey, jam, or butter for best flavor.
- Ensure the baking dish is well buttered to prevent sticking and enhance the buttery flavor.
