  4. In a medium bowl combine the blueberries with 1/4 cup of flour and toss to coat then set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl whisk the remaining 1 3/4 cups of flour with the baking powder and Kosher salt.
  6. Add 1/2 the flour mixture to the batter and mix to combine.
  7. Add the buttermilk and the remaining flour mixture to the batter and mix until just combined.
