Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, do not thaw)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring gently until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Step 2: Add the Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the dough. If using fresh blueberries, be careful not to crush them. If using frozen, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to prevent them from bleeding too much into the dough.
Step 3: Shape and Bake
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it down to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out round biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If you don’t have a cutter, you can shape them by hand.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 4: Make the Glaze and Serve
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Blueberry Biscuits
- Use cold butter. This helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Stir until just combined to keep them soft.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries? Both work, but if using frozen, coat them in flour first to prevent them from bleeding.
These Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are a delightful treat that’s easy to make and perfect for any time of the day. Serve them with a cup of coffee or tea.
