Instructions

Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place ½ cup of unsalted butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and allow it to melt in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
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.
Add Milk: Pour 1½ cups of whole milk into the dry mixture and stir gently just until the ingredients come together to form a batter. Do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, carefully distributing them without breaking the berries.
Combine with Butter: Pour the prepared dough into the baking dish over the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the dish, ensuring good contact with the butter.
Score the Dough: Using a knife, score the batter into 9 equal squares to make it easier to serve once baked.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes to set before cutting completely and serving.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen blueberries according to availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before mixing to prevent excess moisture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Melting the butter in the baking dish before adding the batter helps create a rich, buttery crust on the bottom and edges.
Enjoy these biscuits warm for the best flavor and texture.
