Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position an oven rack in the middle.
  2. Grease an 8-inch square or 2-quart baking dish generously with butter.
Prepare the Fruit Filling
  1. In a large bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with ¾ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour.
  2. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly, and dot it with the 2 tablespoons of butter.
Make the Biscuit Topping
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add the cold butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Dollop 8 to 10 spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the blueberry filling.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the biscuit topping.
  3. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  4. If needed, cover loosely with foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the berry mixture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand. Serve warm for the best experience.
