Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits:
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tb. baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 3 Tb. sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter (VERY cold)
- ¾ cup buttermilk (use enough until the dough is just barely wet enough)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ stick melted salted butter
Sauce:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tb. milk (or more if not thin enough)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut butter into small pats and lay out on a cookie sheet lined in wax paper. Stick in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare a cast iron skillet with a tiny amount of bacon grease, if available. (Easiest thing: fry one piece of bacon, wipe out the pan, and you’re good to go!) Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Stir the sauce ingredients together (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla), ensuring the powdered sugar is completely dissolved.
- Combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar) in a bowl, then cut in the cold unsalted butter until it resembles pea-sized pieces.
- Add buttermilk slowly until the dough separates from the sides of the bowl. Stir until just combined and roll it out onto a well-floured surface.
- Prepare a large area for kneading and sprinkle with flour. Place the dough on the floured area, sprinkle some flour over it, and press the dough out to about ½-inch thickness.
- Place blueberries over the dough, knead a couple of times, and flatten back out to about 1-inch thickness.
- Place biscuits in a cast-iron skillet, ensuring they are touching.
- Bake at 500°F (260°C) for about 10-12 minutes. Around 6-8 minutes in, brush the biscuits with melted salted butter.
- When the tops are lightly browned and blueberries are bursting, remove from oven. The center will remain hot and continue cooking.
Notes
- For best results, keep the butter very cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients.
- Adjust the amount of buttermilk based on the moisture of the dough.
