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 of unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until fully melted and hot.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Add Milk: Pour 1½ cups whole milk into the dry mixture and stir just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain biscuit tenderness.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries, whether fresh or frozen, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart.
- Combine with Butter: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the bottom fully.
- Score Dough: Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares to make serving easier after baking.
- Bake: Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to let them set and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps portion the biscuits without crumbling.
- Serve warm with honey, jam, or additional butter for extra flavor.
- Make sure the butter is hot and melted before pouring the batter for a crispy bottom crust.
