Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Melt 1/2 cup, or one stick, of butter in an 8 x 8 baking dish in the oven. If the butter browns slightly it is fine but be careful not to burn the butter.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until combined.

Step 3

Add the blueberries and the buttermilk to the bowl with the flour and use a wooden spoon to mix until just combined, or until all of the flour is moistened and the blueberries are folded in. The batter will be wetter than a typical biscuit batter.

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the baking pan with the melted butter and spread it out with your wooden spoon. The butter will spill over the top of the biscuit dough. Use a spatula to cut nine squares into the biscuit dough. This helps with cutting and serving the biscuits after they are baked.

Step 5

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature.
