Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Fruit
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare 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 to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until combined.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in 1 3/4 cups buttermilk and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in 1 cup of blueberries, mixing gently to avoid crushing the berries and maintaining their shape and juiciness.
- Transfer dough to dish: Spoon the biscuit dough into the prepared buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Score the biscuits: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares to create individual biscuits after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown color.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with honey or jam for added sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw before adding to the dough.
- For a richer flavor, use cultured buttermilk.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
