Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
Instructions
- Preheat and melt butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for 5–7 minutes until fully melted.
- Combine 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 well blended.
- Add milk: Pour in 1½ cups of whole milk and stir just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure tender biscuits.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries, whether fresh or frozen, taking care not to crush the berries or overwork the dough.
- Assemble in dish: Carefully pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, allowing the butter to incorporate from the bottom as it bakes.
- Score the biscuits: Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares to make cutting easier after baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the biscuits cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow them to set and to prevent burning your mouth.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before folding into the batter.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps in portioning servings easily after baking.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
- Butter melted in the baking dish creates a rich bottom crust and adds moisture to the biscuits.
- These biscuits are best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
