Blueberry biscuits are a delightful treat, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for 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 cut into small pieces
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the flour and blueberry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle a small amount of sugar on top of each biscuit for a slightly sweet crust.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
These delightful blueberry biscuits are best enjoyed warm and fresh. Serve them with butter, jam, or honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
