Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
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 baking 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, coating the bottom evenly. This butter bath will give the biscuits a rich flavor and crisp edges.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. This step ensures even distribution of the rising agents and seasonings.
- Add buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to the batter, taking care not to crush them and turn the dough purple.
- Transfer and spread dough: Pour the dough into the buttered baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
- Score the dough: Using a sharp knife, score the top of the dough into 9 equal squares. This helps in portioning while serving.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and turned a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Rest and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with honey, jam, or your favorite spread for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid excessive moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
- These biscuits freeze well; wrap them tightly before freezing and thaw before reheating.
