Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place butter in an 8-inch square baking dish and put in oven to melt, about 5 minutes. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Pour cold buttermilk and vanilla over dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and a thick batter forms; do not overmix.
  3. Gently fold in blueberries with a spatula, using light strokes to avoid crushing them.
  4. Carefully remove hot dish from oven. Pour batter over melted butter, spreading slightly. Butter will pool around edges. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  5. Bake 28 to 32 minutes until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Cool 5 minutes, then slice into 9 squares and serve warm.

Notes

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; the bake time may need an extra 2 or 3 minutes. An 8-inch dish makes thick, tall biscuits; a 9-inch dish makes thinner, crispier ones.
