Description
These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are soft, tender and loaded with ripe, juicy blueberries. These biscuits have an incredibly soft, fluffy interior with a deliciously crisp, golden brown exterior. The butter technique in these biscuits involves the biscuit batter being directly cooked in a bit of melted butter. This method creates an irresistible biscuit, that tastes almost like a cross between a biscuit and a soft blueberry muffin.
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Pour butter into 9×9 inch pan.
3. In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugars and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
4. Add in the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined.
5. Fold in the blueberries.
6. Pour the biscuit batter into the 9×9 inch pan. Some of the butter will go over top of the biscuits. Spread out the batter as evenly as you can. Use a knife to cut into 9 squares. This is just to help with cutting the finished biscuits later.
7. Place the 9×9 inch pan on a rimmed baking sheet (just in case some of the butter spills over the top). Bake in preheated oven for 24-28 minutes, a toothpick inserted into the center biscuit comes out clean and the biscuits are golden brown.
8. Make the icing. In a medium size bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream or milk. Drizzle over top of the warm biscuits. Serve and enjoy!
