Topping (optional):

- 175°C / 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper.

- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in blueberries.

Tips
- Toss blueberries in flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking
- Use fresh blueberries for best flavor; frozen works too—don’t thaw
- Add zest: 1 tsp lemon or orange zest brightens the flavor
Variations
- Crumble topping: Mix ¼ cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp butter for a crumbly texture
- Nutty: Add ½ cup chopped pecans or almonds
- Glazed: Drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze on top
