Simmering Saturdays Blueberry Swim Biscuits
Ingredients
▢ ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
▢ 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
▢ ¼ cup granulated sugar (more, to taste)
â–¢ 1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ 1 ¾ cups buttermilk (you may need up to 2 cups)
▢ 1 ½ cups blueberries
â–¢ 1 cup powdered sugar
â–¢ 2-3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F degrees (yes, that is the correct temperature). Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish* with nonstick cooking spray. *Glass or ceramic bowl recommended
- In a microwave-safe bowl melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in the microwave. Pour melted butter into prepared baking dish. Note: you can melt the butter directly in the dish as long as it’s not metal.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pour in 1 3/4 cups buttermilk. Stir until a sticky dough forms. If batter still looks dry, add a tad bit more of the buttermilk until you have a sticky dough.
- Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
- Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.) Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough. Spread out the batter evenly.
- Cut the dough into 9 squares. This doesn’t need to be perfect. It will just help with cutting the finished biscuits later.
- Bake (on the middle oven rack) for about 25-30 minutes, rotating dish once during baking. Tops should be golden brown and when you insert a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean with no wet batter.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 Tablespoons milk. Drizzle on top of the warm biscuits.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly then slice and serve.
