Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
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 fresh 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, coating it evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of raising agents and seasoning.
- Add buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula or spoon, being gentle to prevent them from bursting and coloring the dough.
- Transfer dough to dish: Spoon the biscuit dough into the buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
- Score the top: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares to create biscuit portions that can be separated after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm, optionally with honey or jam for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries can be used but may discolor the dough more.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the biscuits fluffy and tender.
- Scoring the dough helps in easy portioning after baking.
- For a sweeter finish, brush the tops with a little melted butter or honey after baking.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
