There’s something undeniably magical about a warm biscuit fresh from the oven. Now imagine that biscuit made sweet, tender, and studded with plump blueberries — and you’ve got a treat that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up.
These Sweet Blueberry Biscuits strike a delightful balance between a traditional flaky biscuit and a fruity, dessert-like scone. The outside is golden and slightly crisp, while the inside remains tender and fluffy. Add a drizzle of glaze or a pat of butter, and they become irresistible.Indulgent desserts
Whether you’re using fresh-picked blueberries or some frozen from your freezer stash, these biscuits will fill your kitchen with a heavenly aroma and your heart with homemade joy.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon saltBaking powder for crumb cake
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup cold butter, cubed
¾ cup milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional glaze (for added sweetness):
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.Baking powder for crumb cake
3. Cut in the Butter
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs — small, pea-sized chunks of butter should remain for flakiness.
4. Add Milk
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring just until the dough starts to come together. Don’t overmix — it should be slightly sticky but still hold its shape.
5. Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula or your hands. Be careful not to crush them, especially if using fresh ones.
6. Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour a surface and turn the dough out. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, reshaping the dough as needed. You should get 8–10 biscuits.
7. Bake
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Optional Glaze
While the biscuits cool slightly, mix your glaze ingredients until smooth.
Drizzle over warm biscuits for a sweet finish.
Tips for Best Results
Use cold butter to help create flaky layers.
If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them — this helps prevent color bleeding into the dough.
Want extra lift? Chill the shaped biscuits for 10 minutes before baking.
For a flavor twist, try lemon zest in the dough or the glaze!
