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 Prepare Butter: 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined to ensure an even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the mixture just comes together into a dough. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them, preserving their shape and juice.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour and spread the dough evenly into the prepared buttered baking dish, smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Score Dough: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares. This helps 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: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with honey or jam for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure fluffy and tender biscuits.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred for the best flavor and texture.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps to portion the biscuits easily after baking.
- Serve warm with honey, jam, or butter for extra indulgence.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated before serving.
