Ingredients

For the Biscuit Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder ensure it's fresh for best results
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries washed and drained
For the Butter Swim
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Method

Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help the biscuits rise quickly and create a golden crust.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Make the Biscuit Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the melted butter and buttermilk. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this will keep the biscuits tender.
  3. Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking them, which could turn the dough purple.
Assemble the Biscuits
  1. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  2. Spoon the biscuit dough in large dollops (about 1/4 cup each) over the melted butter, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Bake the Biscuits
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The biscuits will be buttery and delicious, with a crispy bottom and soft, fluffy interior.
