Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Additional butter pats or sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined—lumpy batter is ideal for fluffy pancakes.
  2. Fold in the blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking, to avoid turning the batter blue.
  3. Assemble the casserole: Grease a baking dish and pour the batter in, spreading it out evenly. For extra flavor, dot the top with small butter pats or sprinkle sugar for a caramelized crust.
  4. Bake to perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool slightly to set, then slice into squares or scoop with a serving spoon. Drizzle with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries should be thawed and drained.
  • Do not over-mix the batter; keep some lumps for fluffiness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help batter combine smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Check the casserole at 35 minutes to avoid over-browning as oven times can vary.
  • Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.
