Ingredients
Ingredients
Butter
8 tablespoons (melted)
Fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
4 cups (washed and drained)
Sugar (for fruit)
2 tablespoons (for sweetening blueberries)
Sugar (for biscuit topping)
3/4 cup
Water
2 tablespoons (if needed)
Self-rising flour
1 cup
Baking powder

Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Milk
3/4 cup
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
optional (for serving)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even melting.
3
Once the butter is melted, add the fresh or thawed blueberries and sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently stir to combine.
4
Cook the blueberry mixture just until the berries begin to soften and release their juices, about 3-4 minutes. If the mixture appears dry, add the 2 tablespoons of water to help create a syrupy consistency.
5
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
6
Pour in the milk and stir until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Spoon the batter over the blueberry mixture, ensuring you cover most of the fruit.
8
Using a spoon or spatula, gently create swirls in the batter to create streaks of blue and white, but do not mix completely.
9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a tester inserted into the biscuit comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
10
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
11
Serve warm, with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Enjoy!
