Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Add-ins & Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined to ensure an even rise and balanced flavor.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding carefully to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
  4. Add the blueberries: Toss the fresh blueberries lightly in flour, then gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly.
  5. Assemble and top the casserole: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and smooth the surface. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top to create a caramelized crust while baking.
  6. Bake until golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes or until set and golden brown. Use a toothpick inserted in the center to check doneness; it should come out clean.

Notes

  • Use fresh buttermilk for best acidity and tenderness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid developing gluten and making the casserole tough.
  • Coat blueberries lightly in flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
  • Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes after baking before slicing to help it hold its shape.
  • Use a toothpick test to ensure the casserole is fully baked without drying out.
