Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Butter Base: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and immediately pour it into an 8×8-inch baking dish, coating the bottom evenly to create a rich buttery base for the biscuits.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined to ensure even leavening and flavor.
Add Buttermilk: Pour in 1 3/4 cups buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender and light.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries to the batter, being careful to avoid crushing them so that bursts of sweet blueberry flavor remain visible in the final biscuits.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour and spread the biscuit dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the top of the dough into 9 evenly sized squares; this will make serving easier after baking.
Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with honey or your favorite jam for added sweetness and flavor.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough biscuits; mix until ingredients just come together.
Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if frozen, fold them in directly without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
Scoring before baking helps in easy portioning and pulling apart after baking.
Serve warm for the best taste experience, optionally with honey or jam.
Use unsalted butter to control salt levels in the recipe.
