What You’ll Need
To whip up these delectable biscuits, gather the following ingredients:
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Sugar
- Salt
- Milk
- Butter (unsalted, for both the biscuit dough and swimming pool)
- Fresh blueberries (or frozen, if that’s what you have on hand)
Feel free to swap out the fresh blueberries for other fruits if you’re looking to experiment!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Melt ½ cup of butter and pour it into the bottom of your greased baking dish; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add in the milk and gently combine; don’t over-mix.
- Fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not mix; the butter should remain below the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden and the biscuit is cooked through.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These biscuits are fantastic served warm from the oven, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream. Pair them with a side of scrambled eggs for a hearty brunch, or serve with a bowl of fresh fruit for a lighter option. They also make a great snack alongside coffee or tea in the afternoon.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
To store any leftovers, allow the biscuits to cool completely, then cover them tightly with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag; they’ll keep for up to three months. Just reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy!
Extra Advice
- Don’t over-mix the dough. Overworking can lead to tough biscuits; gentle folding is key!
- Use cold butter when making the batter to help create that tender, flaky texture.
- Experiment with spices! Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor kick.
Creative Twists
Feel free to get creative with your Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits! Here are a few ideas to switch things up:
- Substitute blueberries with diced peaches or raspberries for a different fruity flavor.
- Add lemon zest for a refreshing citrus twist.
- Incorporate nuts or granola for added crunch and texture.
