Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (plus extra for melting)
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup blueberries
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare butter: 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, evenly coating the bottom.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well mixed.
- Add buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter to ensure tender biscuits.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them, so they remain whole and juicy.
- Transfer batter to dish: Pour the batter into the prepared buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Score the top: Use a knife to lightly score the batter surface into 9 equal squares, which will make dividing the biscuits easier after baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Rest and serve: Allow the biscuits to rest for 5 minutes before serving warm. Enhance the flavor by pairing them with honey or your favorite jam.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen can be used but may alter batter consistency.
- Scoring the batter before baking helps with even portioning once baked.
- Serve these biscuits warm to enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth butteriness.
- Substitute buttermilk with milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
