Instructions
Wash the blueberries and toss them with flour to prevent them from releasing juice into the dough.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes, then work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients all at once and stir gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Carefully fold in the floured blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed without overmixing the dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits using a cutter and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush the biscuits with melted butter, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and bake at 425°F for 15-18 minutes until golden on top.
