Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1 cup (148 g) blackberries, fresh or frozen, divided
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup of blackberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Gently fold in the sugar-coated blackberries, including any liquid from the berries.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Transfer the dough into the dish and evenly spread it to the edges.
- Score the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Top with the remaining ¼ cup of blackberries. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the biscuits bake, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Add more milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven. Let the biscuits cool completely before adding the glaze.
- Once the glaze is added, cut into squares along the scored lines and serve.
