Description

These Blueberry Biscuits are tender, flaky, and bursting with juicy frozen blueberries. Perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack, these biscuits combine a buttery, slightly sweet dough with fresh bursts of blueberry flavor. Baked to a golden perfection, they’re brushed with melted butter for an extra rich finish.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, chilled
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits do not stick and bake evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly. This forms the base of your biscuit dough.
  3. Cut in Butter: Slice the chilled butter into small pats and add them to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step creates the flaky texture in the biscuits.
  4. Add Milk and Blueberries: Slowly pour in the whole milk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Gently fold in the frozen blueberries, being careful not to crush them, which keeps the bursts of blueberry flavor intact.
  5. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Flatten it slightly and fold it in half a few times to create layers. Add a little more flour if the dough feels too sticky for rolling.
  6. Roll and Cut Biscuits: Roll the dough out to about 1 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out 12 biscuits, re-rolling dough as needed.
  7. Arrange and Brush with Butter: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with some space between them. Brush the tops with the melted butter to help them brown beautifully.
  8. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
  9. Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not thaw the blueberries before adding to the dough to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
  • Handling the dough gently helps keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  • Optionally, you can add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking for a slightly sweet crust.
  • Use cold butter and minimal mixing to ensure a flaky biscuit texture.
