Tender Buttery Blueberry Biscuits (Printable)
Tender, buttery biscuits studded with juicy blueberries. Perfect for breakfast or afternoon treats.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
06 - 2/3 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-ins
09 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
→ Optional Topping
10 - 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
03 - Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or fingertips to work butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces remaining.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
05 - Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until barely combined—some dry streaks should remain.
06 - Gently fold blueberries into the dough, taking care not to overmix to prevent purple streaking.
07 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle, handling dough as little as possible.
08 - Use a 2.5-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting. Gather scraps and gently pat together to cut additional biscuits.
09 - Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar if desired.
10 - Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The contrast of crispy sugar topping against tender berry filled centers makes these irresistible
- They come together in under 40 minutes but taste like you spent all morning in the kitchen
02 -
- Keep everything cold especially the butter or youll lose those flaky layers
- Pat the dough instead of kneading it to prevent tough biscuits
03 -
- Use frozen blueberries without thawing to prevent purple streaking throughout the dough
- Add lemon zest to the flour mixture for a bright citrus note that cuts through the richness
