Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup blueberries
Butter Base
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: 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 create a rich butter base for the biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, gently mixing to avoid crushing the berries and keeping them whole.
- Transfer Batter: Pour and spread the biscuit batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Score the Biscuits: Using a knife, score the top of the batter into 9 squares to make serving easier after baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Rest and Serve: Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving warm. They are delicious on their own or served with honey or jam if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure the biscuits stay light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to prevent them from breaking and releasing too much juice.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent color bleeding.
- Serving warm enhances the buttery flavor and soft texture.
