How to Make Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

Ingredients:

315 grams all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
67 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
415 to 475 milliliters buttermilk
225 grams fresh blueberries
115 grams salted butter, melted
120 grams powdered sugar
30 milliliters fresh lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Set the oven temperature to 230°C (450°F).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the buttermilk to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add more buttermilk as needed.
Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the dough to keep them whole.
Pour the melted salted butter into the bottom of a 23 x 23 centimeter baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Evenly spread the biscuit dough over the melted butter. Use a spatula to level the surface, then score the dough into nine equal portions with a sharp knife.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the thickness with more lemon juice or powdered sugar as desired.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the top. Serve warm.

How to Serve Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

These biscuits are best served warm. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with a cup of tea or coffee. They are also great with additional butter or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for an extra sweet treat.

How to Store Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

To keep the biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.

Tips to Make Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

To ensure the biscuits are fluffy, do not overmix the dough.
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; if you only have frozen ones, add them straight from the freezer.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.

Variations

You can experiment with different fruits such as raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries. Adding lemon zest to the dough can give it an extra zing.

FAQs

Q: Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
A: Yes, you can use regular milk. If you want to mimic buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk, let it sit for a few minutes before using.

Q: What can I use if I don’t have a square baking dish?
A: You can use any similar-sized baking dish or even a round cake pan. Just monitor the baking time, as it might vary slightly.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: It’s best to bake the biscuits right after making the dough. If you need to prepare it in advance, store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking.
