Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 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
Fruit
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and butter the pan: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt the 1/2 cup 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them, so they remain whole and juicy.
- Transfer dough to pan: Pour the biscuit batter into the prepared buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Score the dough: Using a knife, lightly score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares to help separate the biscuits after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Rest and serve: Allow the biscuits to rest for 5 minutes before cutting completely. Serve warm, optionally with honey or your favorite jam for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender biscuits.
- Fold blueberries in gently to avoid breaking them and making the batter purple.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps in easy portioning and gives the biscuits a nice look.
- Enjoy warm with honey, jam, or butter for an extra touch of flavor.
