Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

Ingredients:

• For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk, if you don’t have buttermilk)

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen if you prefer)

• For the Butter Swim:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking dish (like a 9×9-inch square or round dish) with a little butter.

2. Prepare the biscuit dough:

   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

   • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

   • Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the dough is a little lumpy.

   • Gently fold in the blueberries.

3. Assemble the biscuits:

   • Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.

   • Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough into the dish, making sure the dough is evenly spread out but not necessarily in a perfect layer. The butter will help cook the biscuits from the bottom.

4. Bake the biscuits:

   • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

5. Optional cinnamon-sugar topping:

   • If desired, mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the top of the biscuits just before baking or after they’re finished baking for an extra touch of sweetness.

6. Serve:

   • Let the biscuits cool slightly, then enjoy them warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream.
