Ingredients
– 11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, divided
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– 1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt
– 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
– 1 ⅔ cups cold buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon honey
– Pinch of salt
Instructions
1-Start by preheating your oven to 400°F, which sets the stage for golden perfection. You’ll be amazed at how quickly these come together for a homemade treat that feels like a hug in biscuit form.
2-First, place 1 tablespoon of butter in an 8×8-inch baking pan and melt it in the oven for 3-5 minutes, then brush it over the bottom and sides. Next, cut the remaining cold butter into small pieces and get a large bowl ready. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they’re evenly mixed.
3-Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingertips or a tool to press it into the flour mixture until it looks like a coarse meal. Gently toss in the blueberries, then stir in the buttermilk until no dry spots remain the dough will be thick and sticky. Spread it evenly in the prepared pan and score it into 9 squares without cutting all the way through.
4-Bake for 40-45 minutes until the tops are browned and a knife comes out clean from the center. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then make the honey butter by melting the butter, honey, and a pinch of salt in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and stirring it together. Turn the biscuits out, brush with honey butter, cool a bit more, and cut along the scores. For more baking inspiration, try our moist peach muffins recipe. This whole process takes about 15 minutes prep, 40 minutes cooking, and 15 minutes cooling, for a total of 1 hour and 10 minutes, making 9 tasty biscuits.
