Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Biscuits)

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk (or ¾ cup milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, don’t thaw)

For the Vanilla Glaze (Optional):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently just until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix—it’s okay if it looks a bit shaggy.

5. Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

6. Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Use a round cutter (or glass) to cut out biscuits. Gently re-roll scraps to make more.

7. Bake

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

8. Make the Glaze (Optional)

While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

9. Glaze and Serve

Let the biscuits cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • No buttermilk? Mix ¾ cup milk with 1 tsp vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
  • Want extra sweetness? Sprinkle the tops with a little sugar before baking.

Storage

These biscuits are best fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently before serving.

Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, dessert, or a mid-afternoon treat, these Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are guaranteed to bring smiles with every bite.
