Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits

Print Recipe

These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits are irresistibly soft in the center, golden and crispy on the edges, and absolutely bursting with juicy blueberries. Baked in a pool of melted butter, they’re as indulgent as they are easy — no kneading, no rolling, just mix, pour, and bake. The perfect cozy treat for brunch or dessert!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 3/4 cups cold buttermilk

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw)

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt.

  • Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined — the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  • Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.

  • Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish. Use a spatula to gently spread it to the corners.

  • Lightly score the batter into 9 squares using a butter knife (this helps portion later).

  • Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

 

  • Let cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice and serve warm. Delicious with a drizzle of honey or scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries work beautifully here — just toss them in straight from the freezer.

  • Add lemon zest for a bright, citrusy twist.

  • For a slightly sweeter biscuit, increase sugar to 2 tablespoons.

  • Don’t overmix your batter — a few lumps are totally fine!

 

  • You can double the recipe for a 9×13 baking dish; bake 5–10 minutes longer.
