Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra softness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Glaze (Optional)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined to create a uniform mixture.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for flaky biscuits.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently and mix just until the dough comes together—avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, taking care not to crush them to maintain their shape and juiciness in the dough.
- Shape Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a disc about ¾-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown on top.
- Make Glaze (Optional): While the biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons of milk or lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a simple glaze.
- Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits, or serve them plain with butter, honey, or extra blueberries for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For extra soft biscuits, substitute buttermilk for milk.
- Handle the dough gently to avoid tough biscuits.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent bleeding.
- The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and shine.
- Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
