Ingredients :
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon of baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, chopped into small pieces
– 1 cup of fresh blueberries
– 3/4 cup of buttermilk
– Additional melted butter for brushing (if desired)
Préparations :
1. Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) as you prepare your baking sheet with a lining of parchment paper or a light greasing.
2. In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. With gentle hands, fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, taking care not to crush them, preserving their juicy goodness.
5. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms, being cautious not to overmix.
6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
7. Shape the dough into a circle or rectangle, approximately 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out individual biscuits.
8. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
9. If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for an added burst of flavor and shine.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a delightful golden brown and are thoroughly cooked.
11. Once baked to perfection, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
12. Serve the biscuits warm with a dollop of butter or your favorite jam for a truly indulgent treat.
