Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Place the unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
4. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, then stir until a thick dough forms.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries without overmixing the dough.
6. Spread the dough evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
7. Lightly score the top into 9 squares for easier serving.
8. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
9. Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer so they do not add too much extra liquid before baking.
Do not overmix the dough or the biscuits can turn heavy instead of tender.
Serve warm for the best texture, especially with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
