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 let it melt in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until fully melted and bubbling.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until evenly combined.
- Add milk: Pour in 1½ cups of whole milk and stir gently until the mixture just comes together into a batter, being careful not to overmix for tender results.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, distributing them evenly without breaking them up or overmixing the dough.
- Transfer to buttered dish: Pour the batter into the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading it evenly using a spatula to ensure consistent baking.
- Score dough: Using a sharp knife, lightly score the batter into 9 equal squares to make serving easier after baking.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the oven for 25 to 28 minutes, until they turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the biscuit cake cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the butter to set slightly and enhance flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before folding them into the batter to prevent color bleed.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- The melted butter in the baking dish creates a crispy, flavorful crust unique to this recipe.
- These biscuits are delicious served warm with additional butter or honey.
