Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups buttermilk (or substitute: 1.5 cups milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Dairy and Fat Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 450F (232C) and positioning a rack in the center. Coat an 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish with butter or parchment paper.
- Transform butter into a liquid state using microwave or stovetop, then distribute evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking vessel.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until thoroughly integrated.
- Introduce buttermilk to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a thick, slightly lumpy consistency emerges. Maintain a light touch to prevent dense biscuits.
- Delicately incorporate blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution. Frozen berries can be added directly without preliminary thawing.
- Transfer the batter into the butter-lined dish, spreading carefully to reach all edges. Slice the surface into 9 uniform squares, allowing the surrounding butter to create a crisp perimeter.
- Optional enhancement: Dust the surface with sugar for additional sweetness or sprinkle lemon zest for a bright, citrusy accent.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, baking for 25-30 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown complexion. Allow a brief 5-minute cooling period before serving.
Notes
- Ensure butter is evenly spread in the baking dish to create a crispy, golden crust that adds delightful texture and flavor to the biscuits.
- When mixing the batter, stop stirring as soon as ingredients are combined to prevent tough, dense biscuits; lumpy batter is perfect for tender results.
- Choose fresh or frozen blueberries interchangeably; frozen berries can be added directly without thawing, maintaining their shape and preventing color bleeding.
- Customize the recipe by swapping blueberries with other berries like raspberries or blackberries, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, aromatic twist.
