Description
Soft, fluffy, and bursting with juicy berries — these Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are the perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack!
Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (don’t thaw if frozen)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Add Buttermilk & Vanilla
- Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries — being careful not to crush them.
Step 5: Shape the Biscuits
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or glass. Gather scraps and repeat.
Step 6: Bake
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk and bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden.
Step 7: Glaze
- While biscuits are still warm, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle generously over biscuits.
Notes
- Use very cold butter for flakier biscuits.
- Handle the dough gently — overmixing makes biscuits tough.
- Don’t overbake — pull them when just golden for a tender crumb.
