Method
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help the biscuits rise quickly and create a golden crust.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Make the Biscuit Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
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.
Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking them, which could turn the dough purple.
Assemble the Biscuits
Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
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
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.
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.
Serve warm with additional butter or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
