How to Make Sweet Blueberry Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

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

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

1. Cut the cold or frozen butter into small cubes.
2. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small chunks of butter are okay – they’ll create flaky layers.

Step 4: Add the Milk and Blueberries

1. Gently stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
2. Fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix to prevent crushing the berries.

Step 5: Shape the Biscuits

1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
2. Pat or roll the dough to about ½-inch thickness.
3. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps and re-roll the dough as needed.

Step 6: Bake the Biscuits

1. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.

Step 7: Prepare the Glaze

1. While the biscuits bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

Step 8: Glaze and Serve

1. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
2. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Blueberry Biscuits

• Keep Ingredients Cold: Cold butter and milk ensure flaky, tender biscuits.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough just until it comes together to avoid tough biscuits.
• Fresh or Dried Blueberries: If using dried blueberries, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the dough.
• Customize the Glaze: Add a hint of lemon zest or almond extract to the glaze for extra flavor.

What to Serve with Sweet Blueberry Biscuits

• Coffee or Tea: A warm cup pairs perfectly with these sweet biscuits.
• Whipped Cream: Add a dollop for an indulgent touch.
• Fresh Fruit: Serve with sliced strawberries or more fresh blueberries for a colorful plate.

Storage and Reheating

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerate: Extend freshness by storing in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
