How to Make Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits Recipe
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar oven-safe pan.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Add Buttermilk and Blueberries
Pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract (if using), stirring gently just until combined. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
Step 4: Melt the Butter
Melt the stick of butter and pour it into your prepared baking dish, evenly coating the bottom.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
Spoon the biscuit batter over the melted butter and gently spread it into an even layer. Don’t worry if some butter pools on top! Using a knife, score the batter into 9 even squares (3x3 grid).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
