Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish and melt it in the oven.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
4. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in blueberries and optional vanilla extract with a spatula.
6. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter. Spread evenly without stirring.
7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
For the best texture, avoid overmixing the batter—lumps are okay!
If using frozen blueberries, fold them in directly without thawing to prevent color bleeding.
A hot skillet helps crisp the edges—melt the butter while the oven preheats.
