These blueberry biscuits are a delightful treat combining tender, flaky biscuit dough with bursts of fresh blueberries. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, they offer a comforting homemade flavor with a lightly golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. This ensures your leavening agent is evenly distributed for fluffy biscuits.
  2. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. This creates the biscuit’s flaky texture.
  3. Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently with a spoon until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, taking care not to crush them, which would make the dough turn purple and soggy.
  5. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and handle the dough lightly to ensure flaky biscuits.
  • Fresh blueberries work best; avoid frozen since they release extra moisture.
  • For added sweetness, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and extra rise.
  • Leftover biscuits reheat well in a toaster oven or microwave.
