🫐 Fluffy Blueberry Biscuits
Makes: 8–10 biscuits
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 15–18 minutes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Fat & Liquid
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
(If frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- flour
- baking powder
- sugar
- salt
3. Cut in the butter
- Add cold butter cubes.
- Use fingers or a pastry cutter to work butter into flour until it looks like coarse crumbs with pea-size pieces.
This is what makes biscuits fluffy and layered.
4. Add blueberries
- Gently toss blueberries with 1 tsp flour.
- Fold into the dough carefully.
5. Add milk
- Pour in milk and vanilla.
- Stir just until combined (don’t overmix).
6. Shape
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold dough in half, then half again (this creates layers).
- Pat back to 1 inch thick.
- Cut using a biscuit cutter or knife (don’t twist!).
7. Bake
- Place biscuits close together on baking sheet.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until tall and golden.
✨ Optional Sweet Glaze
Mix:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk or lemon juice
Drizzle over warm biscuits.
