Ingredients
11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter for the biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour for the biscuits
½ cup granulated sugar for the biscuits
2 teaspoons baking powder for the biscuits
½ teaspoon baking soda for the biscuits
1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt for the biscuits
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries for the biscuits
1 ⅔ cups cold buttermilk for the biscuits
2 tablespoons unsalted butter for the honey butter
1 tablespoon honey for the honey butter
Pinch of salt for the honey butter
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare your baking pan by melting 1 tablespoon of butter in an 8×8-inch pan as it heats up this creates a golden base. Once melted, brush the butter evenly across the bottom and sides for even flavor distribution.
2-Next, in a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 ¼ teaspoons fine sea salt to blend the樂 ingredients thoroughly. Cut the remaining cold butter into small pieces and incorporate it using a pastry blender or your fingertips until you get a coarse mixture with some pea-sized pieces this step is crucial for that fluffy texture. Gently toss in 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries to avoid crushing them, then stir in 1 ⅔ cups cold buttermilk until no dry flour pockets remain, resulting in a thick, sticky batter.
3-Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan, pressing it into the corners, and lightly spray a bench scraper with cooking spray to score the dough into 9 equal squares while keeping them connected. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the tops are browned and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. After cooling for 5 minutes, prepare the honey butter by microwaving 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and a pinch of salt until melted, then stir to combine. Turn the biscuits out, flip them topside up, brush with the honey butter, and let cool another 10 minutes before cutting and serving warm.

🫐 Use fresh blueberries for vibrant color and best taste; if using frozen blueberries, add them frozen to maintain color but expect slight batter discoloration.
🔪 If finger-smashing the butter is difficult, a pastry blender or food processor can help incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients more easily.
🍽️ A 9×9-inch pan can be used instead of 8×8-inch, but reduce baking time by a few minutes; biscuits are best served the same day but can be stored wrapped in foil at room temperature for one day and reheated.
