Steps to Create Your Blueberry Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is your best friend when it comes to easy cleanup—a lifesaver for busy moms like me.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. It’s these simple ingredients that make the foundation of our biscuits.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remember, it’s okay if it’s a bit messy. That’s what makes it homemade!
4. Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, and gently mix until just combined. Overmixing is the enemy of a tender biscuit.
5. Carefully fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them to prevent them from bleeding too much into the dough.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times to bring it together. Pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
7. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather remaining dough scraps, reshape, and cut again until all dough is used.
8. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if you like a little extra sweetness and crunch.
9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. That warm smell filling your kitchen? That’s the smell of love and comfort.
10. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.

Tips for Making the Best Blueberry Biscuits

To make the best Blueberry Biscuits, remember that cold ingredients are key. Keep your butter and buttermilk as cold as possible to ensure those flaky layers. Don’t overwork the dough; a light hand is your best tool here. And if you’re like my mom, you might want to play around with spices—cinnamon or a touch of cardamom can add a delightful twist. Finally, if you’re using fresh blueberries, be gentle when folding them in to keep them whole and juicy.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

These Blueberry Biscuits are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack. If you’re feeling adventurous, try them with a savory spread, like a herbed cream cheese, to balance the sweetness. In my household, they’re often devoured fresh out of the oven with a simple smear of butter. Whatever your choice, these biscuits are sure to bring smiles to your table.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If by some miracle you have leftovers, store these Blueberry Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week. To reheat, wrap a biscuit in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds. Alternatively, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to bring back that fresh-baked warmth. Just remember, nothing beats the taste of a freshly baked biscuit, so enjoy them while they’re at their best!
