total timeIngredients
1 cup (227g) water
1/2 cup to 3/4 (98g to 149g) granulated sugar*
1 teaspoon lemon juice if the berries aren’t tart
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
1 quart (680g) blueberries
2 cups (240g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
4 tablespoons (57g) butter cold
1 cup (227g) buttermilk cold
Directions
To make the filling: Blend the water, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a skillet that’s at least 11” wide and 2” to 3” tall. (A 6-quart Dutch oven also works nicely here.) Stir in the blueberries.
, Bring the blueberry mixture to a gentle boil over low heat. This may take 15 to 20 minutes using fresh berries.
, To make the dough: While the berries are cooking, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
, Work in the cold butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender.
, Quickly and gently stir in the buttermilk to make a cohesive dough.
, Using a tablespoon scoop or a rounded tablespoon measure, dollop the dough in small mounds over the blueberry mixture.
, To cook and serve: Cover and cook over low heat until the biscuits are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
, For each serving, scoop up berries with a biscuit (or two) and invert on a plate; the berries will spill down over the biscuit. Spoon any extra cooked berries on top.
, Storage information: Store any leftover berries and biscuits, covered, in the refrigerator for several days; reheat before serving.
