Blueberry Biscuits

Introduction

Blueberry Biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic biscuit, combining the fluffy, buttery texture of traditional biscuits with the sweet, juicy burst of blueberries. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat any time of the day, these biscuits can be enjoyed on their own or drizzled with a simple glaze for added sweetness.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if fresh are not available)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing on top)

Optional Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk or half and half
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
4. Add the Buttermilk: Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour mixture. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough should be a bit shaggy and sticky.
5. Incorporate the Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the dough, being careful not to overmix.
6. Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
7. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. If desired, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
8. Optional Glaze: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits before serving.
