Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder Make sure it's fresh.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Buttermilk Preferably at room temperature.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter This is equivalent to 1 stick, melted.

Equipment

  • 1 8x8-inch baking dish
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the stick of unsalted butter in an 8x8 inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. A few lumps are expected and desired for a tender biscuit.
  4. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter.
  5. Carefully remove the hot baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the biscuit batter into the center of the pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  6. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 9 equal squares. This helps the butter bubble up and cook the sides of each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center biscuit comes out clean.
  8. Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes in the pan before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Do Not Overmix: For the most tender and fluffy biscuits, mix the batter as little as possible.
Blueberry Options: Frozen blueberries can be used directly from the freezer; do not thaw them. You may need to add 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
