Blueberry biscuits are a delightful variation of traditional biscuits, incorporating the sweet and tart flavor of blueberries. Here’s a simple recipe for making blueberry biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some dry spots.
- Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle or circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Allow the blueberry biscuits to cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them on their own or with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream.
Feel free to adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference, and you can also add a touch of lemon zest for extra flavor. Enjoy your homemade blueberry biscuits!
