Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon flour for tossing blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Melt the butter and pour it into an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add buttermilk and vanilla. Stir just until combined.
- Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently fold blueberries (and lemon zest, if using) into the dough.
- Spoon dough into the baking dish over the melted butter. Spread evenly.
- Score the dough into 9 or 12 squares using a butter knife.
- Bake for 22–27 minutes, until golden brown and set in the center.
- Cool 10 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Frozen blueberries work best when added straight from the freezer.
Don’t overmix the dough—stir just until no dry flour remains.
For a simple glaze, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk and a splash of vanilla or lemon juice, then drizzle over warm biscuits.
