Ingredients

6 tablespoons salted butter
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar (plus an additional 1 tablespoon for topping)
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup whole buttermilk, well shaken
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
For serving: vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the butter in a 9-inch or 10-inch cast iron skillet (or use a 2-quart baking dish). Transfer the pan to the oven until the butter melts. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes, but keep a close eye on it so that the butter doesn’t burn or scorch.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract; stir just until combined.
Once the butter melts, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet on top of the melted butter. Sprinkle the blueberries and about 1 tablespoon of sugar on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and firm.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute using whole milk and vinegar or lemon juice. To do so, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then fill with whole milk to reach 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, give it a stir, and use in the recipe.
