Description

Enjoy these Delicious Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits, a comforting baked treat bursting with fresh blueberries and rich buttery flavor. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, they combine tender biscuit texture with a subtle sweetness and moist crumb, baked to golden perfection in under 35 minutes.


Ingredients

For the Biscuits

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted, for the baking dish)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries


Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and pour it evenly into an 8×8-inch baking dish to coat the bottom and add flavor.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently just until the ingredients come together to form a batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  4. Incorporate blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to break or crush them to retain their shape and juiciness.
  5. Transfer to baking dish: Pour and spread the biscuit dough evenly into the buttered 8×8-inch baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Score the dough: Using a sharp knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares. This helps the biscuits bake evenly and makes serving easier.
  7. Bake: Place the baking 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.
  8. Rest and serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with honey or jam for added sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor, but frozen can be substituted; do not thaw before adding.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
  • To keep the biscuits warm before serving, cover loosely with foil.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Make sure to score before baking to allow easy separation after baking.
