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)
Add-ins
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the ½ cup of unsalted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until fully melted.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: While the butter is melting, in a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk and stir just until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure not to overmix so the berries remain intact and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Combine Batter with Butter: Carefully pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, ensuring the butter coats the bottom and sides.
- Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the batter into 9 equal squares. This will make it easy to separate into individual biscuits after baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the butter to set slightly and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before folding into the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid tough biscuits.
- Scoring the biscuit dough before baking helps with portioning and even cooking.
- Serve warm with extra butter or honey for added sweetness.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
