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
- 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.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- 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.
- Incorporate blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to break or crush them to retain their shape and juiciness.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
