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 the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and allow it to melt in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until fully melted.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add Milk: Pour the whole milk into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the batter is combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to the batter, taking care not to crush them or overwork the dough.
- Pour Batter over Butter: Pour the blueberry biscuit dough into the baking dish with the melted butter. Spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Score Dough: Using a knife, score the dough into 9 equal squares. This step makes it easy to separate the biscuits after baking.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 25 to 28 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before serving. The buttered bottom and soft blueberry pockets make these biscuits irresistible.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, no need to thaw before folding into the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Scoring the dough before baking helps with portioning but do not cut all the way through.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
