Blueberry Biscuits
Deliciously warm Blueberry Biscuits that bring smiles and fond memories for every family gathering.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients and Additions
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Do not thaw if using frozen.
- 3/4 cup milk Can substitute with buttermilk.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well blended.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Carefully fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Baking
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits with a round cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly before serving and enjoy warm!
Notes
For extra richness, substitute milk with buttermilk. Add lemon or orange zest for a citrus twist. Biscuit dough can be formed and frozen; just bake straight from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the baking time. Serve warm with honey or maple syrup for an indulgent treat.
