Ingredients
Scale
Butter Base
- 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
- Prepare Butter in Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and pour it evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish to coat the bottom.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, handling gently to avoid crushing the berries and releasing their juice prematurely.
- Transfer and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared buttered baking dish and spread evenly to cover the base.
- Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the top of the batter into 9 equal squares to make serving easier after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–28 minutes or until the top is a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes after baking. Serve them warm with honey or your favorite jam for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Handle the blueberries gently to prevent crushing and adding excess moisture to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain light and fluffy biscuits.
- The scoring step helps portion the biscuits easily once baked.
- These biscuits are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently.
- Substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are not available; do not thaw before mixing.
