Sweet Blueberry Biscuits 🫐✨
Soft, flaky biscuits filled with juicy blueberries and topped with a sweet glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful treat anytime!
Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more, as needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should remain in small, pea-sized pieces to create a flaky texture.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits, reshaping the dough as needed to make the most of it.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
Step 4: Bake
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have puffed up nicely.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
While the biscuits bake, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency. The glaze should be thick but pourable.
Step 6: Glaze and Serve
Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze generously over the top of each biscuit.
Serve warm and enjoy! These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a sweet treat any time of the day.
