Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups buttermilk
0.5 cup unsalted butter
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place butter in an 8×8-inch baking dish and melt in oven.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
4. Fold in the blueberries gently.
5. Pour the dough over the melted butter in the hot dish.
6. Spread the dough evenly and score into 9 squares using a butter knife.
7. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
Use cold buttermilk for the best tender texture.
Do not thaw blueberries if using frozen — it helps avoid discoloration and soggy dough.
