Ingredients

For the Biscuit Topping

  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter grated
  • ½ cup sour cream plus 1 extra tablespoon

For the Blueberry Filling

  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

For Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F

For the Biscuit Topping

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the grated butter and use your fingertips to work it into the flour until small pea-sized lumps remain. Stir in the sour cream and gently knead until a soft dough forms. Set aside.

Prepare the Blueberry Filling

  • In another large bowl, toss together the flour, sugar, blueberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a medium oven-safe skillet or baking dish.

Assemble

  • Tear the biscuit dough into small pieces and scatter them over the berries, leaving some spots uncovered.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through. Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving. Top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and serve.

Notes

The biscuit dough is beyond, you’ll want to eat it just straight out of the skillet. I make mine with sour cream, but you could easily get a little jazzy and use creme fraiche. Your call!
