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
Add-ins
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare 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 well coated to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Add buttermilk: Pour 1 3/4 cups buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries to the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing the berries.
- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula or spoon.
- Score the dough: Using a sharp knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares. This will help portion the biscuits after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with honey or jam if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough biscuits.
- Gently folding in blueberries prevents them from breaking and turning the batter purple.
- Using cold buttermilk ensures a tender crumb.
- These biscuits are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with lemon juice and use dairy-free butter.
