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
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
Produce
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat and melt butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and allow it to melt in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, creating a buttery 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. This ensures even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
- Add milk: Pour in the whole milk to the dry mixture and stir just until the ingredients are combined to avoid overworking the dough, which could make biscuits tough.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix to keep the dough light and to prevent the berries from breaking too much.
- Pour dough into butter: Pour the biscuit dough directly into the baking dish with the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly over the butter.
- Score the dough: Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares to make serving easier after baking.
- Bake and cool: Bake the biscuits in the oven for 25 to 28 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before serving to let the butter soak in and to make slicing easier.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh or high-quality frozen blueberries that are properly thawed and drained.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender and flaky.
- If you prefer, you can add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking for extra sweetness and crunch.
- Serve warm with extra butter, honey, or jam for added flavor.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted before adding the dough to ensure even baking and flavor.
