Why Make Blueberry Biscuits?
You should make these biscuits because they are so simple and quick! They take just a few minutes to prepare and are perfect for any occasion. Whether it’s a lazy weekend morning or a busy weekday, these biscuits never disappoint. Plus, they taste amazing fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of sweet glaze on top!
How to Make Blueberry Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- (1–2) tablespoons milk
- (1/2) teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean-up easy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything is combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a 2-inch round cutter or a knife to cut out the biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 15–18 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the biscuits are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
How to Serve Blueberry Biscuits
These Blueberry Biscuits are best served warm, straight out of the oven when they’re soft, fluffy, and bursting with juicy blueberries. Enjoy them plain, or add a pat of butter to enhance their rich, buttery flavor.
For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the top. These biscuits also pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or even a refreshing glass of milk.
If you’re serving them for brunch, consider topping them with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh blueberries for an elegant presentation.
How to Store Blueberry Biscuits
To keep your Blueberry Biscuits fresh, allow them to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature, where they will stay soft and delicious for 2-3 days. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. For long-term storage, freeze the biscuits in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their warm, freshly baked texture. For the best experience, consider warming them up in a toaster oven and adding a bit of butter or jam before serving.
Tips to Make Sweet Blueberry Biscuits
- Make sure your butter is very cold for flakier biscuits.
- Don’t over-mix the dough when adding the blueberries. This keeps them fluffy.
- To add an extra touch, brush melted butter over the tops before baking for a golden crust!
Variation
You can try switching up the flavor by adding lemon zest for a citrusy kick or mix in other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
