Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup salted butter grated, cold
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • 12-inch cast-iron skillet
  • Baking spray
  • parchment paper
  • grater
  • mixing bowls
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a large round baking pan with baking spray.
  2. Grate the butter using the fine side of a grater onto a piece of parchment paper, then place it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and reserve the rest for the tops.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
  6. Incorporate the grated butter into the dry ingredients using a fork.
  7. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined. Gently fold the dough over a few times until sticky and no dry bits remain. If too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
  8. Add the blueberries and fold a few more times until just incorporated. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw.
  9. Divide the dough into 7 equal portions and shape each into a rough ball.
  10. Arrange 6 balls of dough around the edge of the pan and place 1 in the center, touching but not stacked.
  11. Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  12. Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are puffed up.
  13. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.
  14. Serve warm.
