Notes

- Use your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter into the dry mixture.
- If you do not have buttermilk, mix milk with 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice. Allow this to sit for 5 minutes.
- The dough will be pretty thick.
- Be careful with the blueberries.
- Use fresh blueberries, not frozen.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
