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
Add-ins
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and butter the 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, ensuring the bottom and sides are well-coated to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined, creating the biscuit base.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in the 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the biscuits.
- Incorporate blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough to distribute them evenly without crushing the berries.
- Transfer dough: Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish and spread it evenly to fill the dish.
- Score dough: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares. This helps in dividing the biscuits after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve the warm biscuits with honey or jam if desired for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in blueberries to avoid crushing them and turning the dough purple.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor, optionally with honey or jam.
- Can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are not available; do not thaw before mixing.
- Use a sharp knife for scoring to achieve clean biscuit shapes.
